Discord\u00a0<\/span>announced on Monday<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>that it\u2019s rolling out age verification on its platform globally starting next month, when it will automatically set all users\u2019 accounts to a \u201cteen-appropriate\u201d experience unless they demonstrate that they\u2019re adults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cFor most adults, age verification won\u2019t be required, as Discord\u2019s age inference model uses account information such as account tenure, device and activity data, and aggregated, high-level patterns across Discord communities. Discord does not use private messages or any message content in this process,\u201d Savannah Badalich, Discord\u2019s global head of product policy, tells\u00a0<\/span>The Verge<\/em>.<\/p>\n
