Discord announced everybody will be required to provide faceid or a government id and if they don't their account will be restricted to teen mode. I'm sure Discord will be good stewards of this important private data, after all they've not had a major leak of ID's and personal information since October 2025.

Why are so many platforms doing this now? I just received a message from OpenAI that β€œwe’ll begin using age prediction across our services to help provide safer, more age-appropriate experiences for teens.”
Di... gi... tal... ID! That's what this is, y'all. I think @Laser pointed out the ongoing Jesuit agenda (even though he doesn't say it is Jesuit) back in 2021 with TFTC if I'm not mistaken. @Neigsendoig Cocules and I hadn't listened to it, since it's probably some Jesuitmaxxing on the part of Marty, maybe.

Because many countries are now mandating age verification by law across social apps. UK & Australia being two more recent examples.
That's why we need decentralized, open, free platforms. Nostr doesn't need face IDs and personal IDs. So the solution is here. πŸ‘ˆ
