If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.
You must log in or # to comment.
I mean I’m usually not the skeptic when it comes to privacy rights, but it’s hard for me to defend against an action like this. Because I don’t see a purpose of needing that information outside of the intent to sell to third party
How would an AI ever know the difference between a 17.5 year old and an 18 year old anyways?
It won’t
Daily reminder that Matrix exists and has many populated chat rooms
I assume having your own chat room with your friends would mean self hosting?
No
Maybe it’s the interests I have, but those chat rooms may have people but not a lot of activity. Also, the specific people I want to chat with don’t use Matrix.
Hmmm. So how long before another AI is able to generate a good enough face to fool the age verification AI (or can it already)? Interesting three-legged race there.
diffusion based GAN basically
What a completely necessary and safe feature
getting a bunch of minors to take selfies of themselves to upload to a server somewhere while training an ai model will definitely have no problems…
Thing is Discord will have no problems getting them to do it. By the time any legal proceedings against it work their way through the legal system, the damage will long since have been done. Discord will have made the money from the data they collected, the AI models will be done, and the need for more pictures will be non-existent.
I would recommend Signal and maybe Tox (protocol, has several clients).
Signal is a nonprofit. They make it a point not to collect your data. Just the phone number. Military folks seem to like them.
Tox is not a centralized entity at all, anarchists seem to like it. Multiple Tox clients exist and use a common protocol and network. Messaging happens via peer-to-peer, lookups make use of servers. For messaging to occur, both communicating parties have to be online, so don’t expect much convenience.
Oh my God it’s been so many years since I’ve heard of tox I set up a q-tox account years ago, then no one used the platform so I just let it rest. I think I have my identity key is still stored on my developer sync, I forgot that platform existed

I use signal with my wife and daughter for texting, does it also offer group servers? I keep in touch with most of my business customers through my shop’s discord server.
Yes, you can also share a server link and use a username therefore not needing to share your phone number, for bigger group chats
It does group messaging, it’s not the same as discord, but I’m not sure what all features you need in a group chat room.

As someone who looks significantly younger than they are, I’m curious as to how this will work.
if that happens to me and discord wants me to send selfies to my self,Am going to Matrix and maybe use my discord alt to take to my friends who dont wanna use matrix.
Better start doing it now.
Tried that with my friends. They simply rolled their eyes and laughed.
its hard to do due to mentioned reason and btw i got banned from discord back in 2020 made a acc again in 2021 and i already use matrix

Ai being trained on more ai imaged
bye bye!
If you have a discord account, they already know who you are. If you tried to get an account anonymously, they’d ban you and demand a phone number.
I never used discord because it was never possible to do so securely. Friends dont let friends use discord.
Use matrix or something better.
listen we need to have a chat,
you and me and some others on here understand using matrix and signal and whatever for E2EE chats. The people who use discord/facebook messenger/imessage/sms/whatsapp DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about this stuff. They are only going to use what is in pop culture. That’s how it is and i know it sucks, but people think its easy to “Get your family/friends over” whey they laugh at you and say “im not downloading just use x plz”
Here’s the thing… People who care still use Discord. I’m one of them. I have no other option for maintaining communications with a group of 20 people I have been gaming with since 2009. We’ve all hopped from Skype to Teamspeak to Ventrillo to Discord. There’s no going back for many of these people.
Like it or not, Discord offers a product that Signal, Briar, or any other Matrix chat offers and that’s accessibility. I would love for a mainstream E2EE chat program that actually can host a 15 person call, hold multiple chatrooms in one server, allow screen sharing, streaming and multimedia sharing.
We can’t just live in a vacuum and claim nobody uses these programs because they’re stupid or don’t care. For many, like me, Discord a reasonable security risk people are willing to take in order to maintain communications with people they care about.
This in turn is the problem im speaking about. We could go on about it all day. The only people that will use these tools for the most part are us. So naturally we should just be talking to each other, but yeah when it comes to our personal group, not happening.
then we need something new and hot and flashy to communicate on. Why not make it a way to work together too? This sounds like a good idea, if you know of a good way to make this system then you’d have my vote
If your family doesn’t download the only (free and accessible) app you use, they’re not your family
To be fair, the same argument can be applied both ways.
Not if you can’t use the app they use because it requires a phone number or gapps.
Whereas they can use the app you use because it works fine on their device.
ok
The annoying thing is that a lot of support or even downloadable content is on Discord exclusively. We’ve had similar shitty trends with Facebook, Tumblr, etc. and it just is annoying. People claim it’s where most people are but ignore the fact that it is impossible to access for everyone who is not.
Yeah, using authwalled websites is stupid.
In my country politicians upload their policies exclusively on authwalled sites. The website just links to authwalled social media accounts. Its infuriating.
There goes accessing Stalker:GAMMA and tons of other game mods.
Guys, calm down, it doesn’t use YOUR face at all. Just a photo. Easy to bypass, and think of the fun we can have.
If that’s the computing you want to do then power to ya. I’d rather the software running on my machine do what I want, rather than work around it doing what someone else wants.
See you guys in IRC.
I loved irc 20 years ago…i have no clue how to get back into it. How do you even find a cool server in 2024??
They haven’t changed that much. Freenode died and was replaced by libera.chat, but that’s about it. The other big ones are still around.
i want to use IRC but nobody ever talks to me in there
Dalnet or EFnet?
Libera and IRCnet.
Is Dalnet even still around? I stopped using IRC way back in the day because they said they were shutting it down and it was really the only server I used.
Yes I think it’s still active.
ALL ROADS LEAD BACK TO IRC
Yes, they do. :)
