KYC is a trap.
Always was, always will be.
If you think "I have nothing to hide because I'm not a criminal", I urge you to reconsider before history repeats itself and proves you wrong.

Make sure to email their support team and tell them that you left and why, they gotta have records that this shit will not be tolerated!
Delete that shit like yesterday.
Removed discord from all devices i own.
Bet nobody else will and after all this will be a huge success and the children finally will be safe
The current UK government in a nutshell right now:
They got a new CEO in April 2025, look him up.
Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.
Define "quickly" and why is it not always immediately after confirmation?
quickly as in never and then leaked because they secured it with the digital equivelent of a wet paper bag left outside.
Age verification should be "continue the song lyrics"
That could work. They should only be songs from when I was a teenager—
Wait. They’re classic oldies now?! 😢
Lol my dad listens to that shite
"last year" doesn't really do it justice They had tons of data breaches last year, the really bad one was after some places forced people to upload their IDs
Your personal data is safe with us.
So give it. Very safe. Give it!
We take your home safety very seriously. Please let us in. Let us in. Let us rummage through your nightstand drawers. Your secrets are safe with us.
Your children are also safe. Give them.
It's not even that it got leaked, it's the fact that it's data they said they didn't have. Screw em!
Yep. Just confirms once more that a company's word means absolutely nothing.
Discord looked iffy from the start. A hacker's hangout.
A hacker's hangout is safer and more friendly than any social media site.
Not sure what you mean, hackers hanging out is a good health indicator for an online space, and discord definitely wasn't a platform of choice.
Unless you mean scammers, which isn't even remotely the same thing.
Hey. What’s up homie? Have you heard about Bitcoin? It’s a great financial freedom and I’m extra generous today reading your comment. It’s Discord keyword triggered my human detection algorithm. If you send me one, I’ll send you two back. Spread the love and the positivity fir Discord and Bitcoin users like you! ⭐️🥰🖕
Or if you’re busy, I’m actually the MasterCard. There has been a totally true breach of your bit corns. Please PM your seed words on Discord and I will secure it. Again this is Victor MasterCard. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
It’s been almost 2 decades but I guess I’m a teenager again ?🤷 Because I ain’t uploading shit to discord.
Its wild people are even entertaining the idea. They already proved they will.get your shit stolen.
Just comply bro. It's easy. Just upload it bro.
Fuckers.
Just got my debit card stolen.
I only use it on frontier and Costco. But I'm sure it's frontier who leaked it again
Obligatory fuck frontier, complimentary fuck comcast
Doubt.
"Quick deletion: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly - in most cases, immediately after age confirmation."

And this is why generic EULAs should be heavily regulated, and allowed to be negotiated like any other contract. Allow me to pencil in a “you’ll allow me to uniquely watermark the scan of my ID so it can be traced back to this specific request, and agree to pay me $500M if that scan is ever included in a data breach or sold to additional third-party vendors” clause.
Oh, Discord doesn’t want to agree to that? Gee, if the company is deleting everything immediately and there’s no risk of a leak/intentional sale, what’s the harm in including it? How’s the saying go? Something about “if you have nothing to hide”?
Unironically the solution here. We need a bit of a negotiation option. Some entity, I don’t know, the EU or other larger regulatory bodies need to force that one down their throat
Translation: our vendors have no idea where this data goes. If they can’t find it, it’s deleted, right?
