If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.
The only difference I see between this and the only other non-official way of verifying age on Discord is that Discord itself will have your face and not just the mod team of the room you’re joining.
I wasn’t gonna send a picture of my ID to some rando; I sure as fuck won’t give it to a corporate entity.
Just in case anyone reading this gets the impression that direct messages sent on Discord are private from Discord itself, they aren’t. If you were to send your face to a mod, or send anything to anyone there, then Discord would have it, too.
To be fair to Discord, it has to work that way. They serve the files to you anywhere in the world on any device you use, don’t they? That requires hosting the content.
But it could very well be used for other purposes, too, of course.
