We're not even two months into 2026, and yet another large social media network has done the seemingly unthinkable and instituted a policy that triggers a mass exodus. I am of course talking about Discord's roll-out of age verification globally, across the entire site. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/875309/discord-age-verification-global-roll-out" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.theverge.com/tech/875309/discord-age-verification-global-roll-out</a> Not only will they require age verification, Discord is also utilising AI technology to analyze your content and habits to infer your age.
