Not only is this pointless/ineffective, it's also completely unnecessary.

Oh, it will most certainly be used to maintain an up to date facial information database that can then be used by authorities who’ve already started facial recognition camera systems all over London (“for now”, only linked to criminal facial databases but obviously the goal is to gather as much data as possible in the near future).
Of course, this is just my thoughts on it, but it's entirely possible that their original partner is dropping them due to PR concerns. Discord is a huge partner and they have been in the news constantly as of late with the ID talk, it might be scaring k-Id off because it's almost entirely bad PR regarding their data safety and practices.
It's also entirely possible that Discord's finally woken up and realized, oh, maybe we shouldn't be using a third party that doesn't delete data, And that the flack they are getting PR-wise isn't worth it.
