Discord to decide which servers to age-gate using AI, automation and review

Discord will decide which servers to age-gate with a combination of automated detection, AI validation and human review. In March, it will roll out facial scanning and ID checks globally for users who don't want to be locked into a "teen-appropriate experience".

Some of the content being restricted is fairly specific, and users who opt out because of privacy concerns may find themselves locked out of features they wouldn't miss. For example, losing the ability to talk in "stage channels"—where designated speakers talk to an audience who can only listen—wouldn't change how most people use Discord.
