Sounds like a creepy way for discord to take millions of photos of children and feed them to an AI.
my time with discord was short. but the amount of pedophiles or people who supported pedophiles was so high I never went back.
my point is, this is on-brand for them.
Where the fuck did you go on discord. Wth
topics on gaming, fintech, AI/ML. All of the ones I had gone to had at least one channel/room where somebody was freely promoting or defending csa.
that was about 4 years ago.
Holy fuck I don't do much discord never had tbat problem. That's wild but I'm kinda not surprised.
How? My PC doesn't have a camera. Also couldn't you just hold up a video of an older person
Pretty much any adult has a smartphone capable of running discord and with a camera. You only have to verify once on any device.
Also couldn't you just hold up a video of an older person
Based on my experience with similar things in the past, it activates the camera for a few seconds and you have to pan to give it a 3d image of your face.
Edit: Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for explaining how the system works. I'm not even taking any sides here.
I don't use a smartphone
I gathered, but (people like) you're like 0.0001% of the population. Discord doesn't care about your demographic.
I mean… there ARE privacy respecting options, but guess what they chose to do so.
Like, to protect the children UNPROTECT the children by uploading the face to a thirdparty company, so not even directly to discord. I didnt read their TOS or Privacy Policy, but i bet they save the images for “improving” their model and selling it to other AI / ML companies.
I will uninstall and refuse to use any tool that requires this on the penalty of death.
