So, I looked at age verification - it was made clear photos were on device only and never transmitted.
If this turns out to be false, then the legal fallout would be apocalyptic.
(Edit: or not, see the comment by ambitiousprocess below)
What legal fallout? Discord made users agree to new terms just a week ago that involves forced arbitration.
Forced arbitration clauses are not legal in many European jurisdictions, so "agreeing" to them didn't actually do anything.
Are they legal in any EU jurisdictions? I'd hope not.
Not to mention half of their TOS being illegal/unenforceable in the first place.
Dunno, just didn't want to make a statement I'm not sure of.
