Discord has reactivated age verification for users after initially delaying the rollout due to privacy concerns. The system uses automated methods (account age, server participation) and new options including credit card entry, app store data, and AgeKey service to classify users into Adult (18+), Teen (13-17), or Unconfirmed groups, with content restrictions applied accordingly. This affects platform safety and user privacy — important for SMEs using Discord for community/team communication to understand age-gating implications for their servers.
