YES! This is AMAZING! πŸŽ‰

Keep pushing against abusive practices, and keep fighting for your privacy rights!

IT WORKS! βœŠπŸ”’

Edit: Just to be clear, I still encourage everyone to move to better platforms and delete your Discord accounts (even if there was no age verification at all). Discord isn't a privacy-respectful platform.

But this small victory means we should keep pushing for better privacy practices, everywhere.

This means they are listening. This means you have the power to make things better, for yourself and for others.

Celebrate that. And keep pushing back.

I had an account I barely used, to go into the "servers" of some projects that offer no other way to ask for help (some Minecraft mods, browser extensions, etc.).

I got an email a few days ago saying it was permanently deleted. Good riddance.

That said, I imagine Discord will lay low for a while, and try to do this again in a few months.
