Discord has quietly begun testing Incode as a new age verification provider, replacing its previous vendor for some users. The company says face scans are processed on-device where possible, IDs and selfies are deleted after age confirmation, and Discord only receives an age result, not your identity. But the move still raises important privacy questions around biometric verification, third-party trust, and the growing trend of mandatory age checks online, especially after the massive Persona breach linked to Discord user data back in 2025

    I assume E2EE is end to end encryption?

    Curious why you care that much. On discord it’s all on their servers anyways, so it already doesn’t matter.

    If you had to you could self host and set up e2ee for the connection if you wanted to.
