You all need to talk about Fake IDs way more when this subject is brought up, the silence around that subject is unacceptable. Discord and friends really want us to be silent when it comes to the subject of people making fake IDs or faking facial scans. Because it means people might be discouraged from trying it or never even think of trying it at all.

Being silent will artificially boost compliance and that's horrible for privacy.
