Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Discord has announced that beginning in early March, users will need to verify their age via a selfie or government ID. Users' accounts will be set to teen accounts by default until they perform the verification. Discord states that the selfie processing will happen locally on users' devices, that government IDs will be deleted by their third-party processors “quickly,” and that age verification status will not be visible on users' profiles.
