Seeing more and more of 'This message is unavailable' - 'Discord requires ID in order to see certain messages'
Pretty much an AI detecting vulgarity and blocking it, although actual racist, vulgarity gets through things like 'here with my gock' to 'troll it' are what I've seen.
So, yes it is a requirement, and yes, they are censoring people and things, and requiring others to have an ID to see the messages as well.
So 'Not mandatory for all accounts' is technically true, but I mean.. you get it, hopefully.
> You will be able to join a Discord with your friends, chat, and do voice without age verification.
No, building a community is a goal for many; this just isn't acceptable.
> So the claim that Discord is making ID verification "mandatory" or that you need it for gaming chats is untrue.
Again, not mandatory but creates more issues than it solves.
