    From Discord’s age verification page, under “Privacy and Data Security”:

    Q: Is my data stored when I use Face Scan or Scan ID verification?

    A: Discord and k-ID do not permanently store personal identity documents or your video selfies. The image of your identity document and the ID face match selfie are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed, and the video selfie used for facial age estimation never leaves your device.

    So is that a lie?

        Companies suffer no consequences and nobody goes to jail for destroying real people’s lifes. It’s how businesses work. Do it and apologize later motto or something like that. At best some small fine.

      It always was and it will always be. Data is the real commodity and Discord had no intention of wasting it when they could profit from it. This applies to ALL “free” products offered by corporations. You are and have always been the product.

      is this not from the stolen support tickets? some of which were related to id verification? 70k users is a very low number for discord.
