Discord announced on Monday<\/a> that it\u2019s rolling out age verification on its platform globally starting next month, when it will automatically set all users\u2019 accounts to a \u201cteen-appropriate\u201d experience unless they demonstrate that they\u2019re adults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cFor most adults, age verification won\u2019t be required, as Discord\u2019s age inference model uses account information such as account tenure, device and activity data, and aggregated, high-level patterns across Discord communities. Discord does not use private messages or any message content in this process,\u201d Savannah Badalich, Discord\u2019s global head of product policy, tells The Verge<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Users who aren\u2019t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won\u2019t be able to speak in Discord\u2019s livestream-like \u201cstage\u201d channels<\/a>, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive. They will also get warning prompts for friend requests from potentially unfamiliar users, and DMs from unfamiliar users will be automatically filtered into a separate inbox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Direct messages and servers that are not age-restricted will continue to function normally, but users won\u2019t be able to send messages or view content in an age-restricted server until they complete the age check process, even if it\u2019s a server they were part of before age verification rolled out. Badalich says those servers will be \u201cobfuscated\u201d with a black screen until the user verifies they\u2019re an adult. Users also won\u2019t be able to join any new age-restricted servers without verifying their age.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
