Reply To: [Discord] Discord Launches Teen-by-Default Settings Globally

But it isn’t about ‘adult content’ in their marketing blurbs.
It is about ‘teen by default’.

The age limit itself is bizarre.
It is below the various other arbritrary ages used for various legal reasons across the world.

IMHO they should have set it at 18 as that is the age limit for adult content in most forms of entertainment.

Then again … this is not about ‘protecting the kids/teens’.

It is and always will be about control and their ability to harvest data for profit.

A company that claims to value privacy should never ever be asking for personal details themselves.

They don’t have a good enough track record for that kind of thing.
It’s not their core business model either.

Heck … the simple fact that they have been harvesting our data without our consent in order to feed their ‘AI’ is enough proof that they cannot be trusted.
