⚡️🚨 NEW - Discord is expanding its age verification testing beyond the UK and Australia.
Small groups of users are now seeing age assurance prompts (such as selfie or ID scan for 18+ access) in Ukraine, Austria, and Canada.
Discord's support pages note that some users outside those countries may see these prompts as part of ongoing experiments.
This indicates likely broader worldwide A/B testing, though no full global rollout has been announced yet.
Data is processed one-time (facial estimation on-device, IDs not stored) and deleted afterward. Check your account if you're in affected regions.
