Discord Distances From Persona Age Verification
|
7.2
Discord says it ran a limited test of age-verification vendor Persona in the UK and has concluded the trial, removing Persona references from support pages around February 15. The announcement follows user backlash and reports of exposed code and privacy concerns; Persona says it deleted collected test data, while Discord emphasizes k-ID local facial age estimation and use of Veratad for ID scans to limit biometric uploads.
Scoring Rationale
Official vendor confirmations and exposed-code findings drive relevance, but story primarily updates an existing vendor controversy with limited technical novelty.
