>The most concerning data caught in the breach is a limited number of government ID images shared with Discord for age verification purposes, such as **passports or driver’s licenses**.
>This breach comes **only six months after** Discord started requiring **age verification** in some regions. The UK’s Online Safety Act made such age verification law in Britain,
Damn it, it happened much faster than the lobbyists were trying to convince us to pass the law.
The German e-id can return a bool to the question if the user is of a certain age. Not sure why this whole other crap is needed
This is just the first of many such breaches
Are the kids safe yet???
Shows the whole idea was stupid and not needed at all.
Parents just need to properly parent and keep an eye on their kids.
Among the people surprised by this news are…

It’s less of a discord problem, but of their partner. Said partner was hacked and hackers got access to the data they were transferring to discord.
The only actual problem was the name and mail address. 4 last digits of users CC (if they bought nitro) aren’t doing anything, tbh.
A very strange and stupid law. Implementation and reasons do not make sense.
I think the best thing the state can do for children is to distribute booklets with advice for parents in kindergartens and so on, with information on how to enable parental controls on devices, why it is necessary to talk and build trusting relationships, not to give gadgets without limits, teach not to talk to strangers, and so on. The state can also finance cartoons for children and have social advertising here and there.
I will express a controversial opinion, but it would be better for everyone to force everyone to verify their identity on social media, and after six months or some other period, social media would not show content from unverified people.
If you do not verify, you cannot create content (comments, posts).
This would significantly reduce hatred and misinformation.
Technically, the corporation should only receive my name (which is already public) and confirmation that “yes, this is indeed me,” rather than detailed information. This can be implemented through a government application.
People may be concerned about privacy, but nothing will change. Companies already hand over data to governments upon request.
For anonymity (people from authoritarian states), no one uses social networks; everything is communicated through journalists in secure messengers.
What? No one had to send their passport scan to Facebook in the last decade?
UK took already controversial idea and asked “what is the laziest and most idiotic way this could be implemented?” Ah yes, lets force people to send private data to some random company overseas
Oh wow who could have seen that coming?
Everyone. Everyone saw it coming.
And still people are adamant that digitalID is a bad thing.
Look at the Covid app in UK. Open source, was good for privacy also you needed to know if you passed by a person contaminated in the past.
Technically digitalID can guarantee our privacy, does not facilitate tracing from government.
But still most people, pushed by extreme political groups don’t want to research the topic more seriously.
