Predictable: Discord Age Verification System Suffers Data Breach, Government IDs Exposed
Discords age verification system has suffered from a data breach, exposing some of the government IDs provided by users.
"Experts have warned collecting sensitive personal information, such as government-issued IDs, is a "disaster waiting to happen" and sites adopting age verification would be a prime target for hackers."

More info on Discords Data breach, while discord said that users Photo IDs are deleted immediately after age verification, the Data breach is said to contain those very same identity documents.

Age verification laws haven't been around very long and they're already showing how dangerous they are https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/10/discord-s-recent-support-data-breach-exposes-user-info-id-photos-and-credit-card-details/
In case you were somehow still confused about why people are so mad about age verification laws: this is why

Norwegian #DataProtection Authority on #Ageverification for #SocialMedia
> The government is proposing a new law on age limits for social media use. We have no objections to the legal establishment of such an #AgeLimit, but we believe that the proposal on age verification requirements in particular has not been sufficiently examined.

DatatilsynetHøringssvar om forslag til lov om aldersgrenser i sosiale medierRegjeringen foreslår ny lov om aldersgrenser for bruk av sosiale medier. Vi har ikke innvendinger mot å lovfeste en slik aldersgrense, men mener at særlig forslaget om krav om aldersverifisering ikke er godt nok utredet.
So age determination is not a security risk ? It is and it will be more for future. The latest Discord incident might be an eye opener for some.
Apparemment, désertion en cours de Blueskyers UK suite à obligation de justifier son âge pour l'utiliser.
If the #privacy violating #ageVerification crap ever arrives in the Fediverse I'll probably just fall back to #Usenet again.
I'll have to change my sig though, it's a bit out of date. Probably 1996 since I was last there.

@Em0nM4stodon Indeed. Make #ageVerification, #chatControl, and other excuses to tie offline identity to online accounts go the way of #Disney after the #JimmyKimmel situation.

@chatcontrol So that's why politicians are pushing for #ageverification, weakening #encryption and constant internet #surveillance.
They simply want to give us more #freedom! 
If everyone was refusing to provide official IDs to verify their identity and age on social platforms, and just let their account rot there unused instead, we would soon see platforms themselves starting to advocate against these invasive laws to recover their users.
Just saying.
They need you more than you need them.
Stop complying with invasive requests.
Why this "AV" (Age Verification) requiring the upload of documents poses risks which are IMHO not justified by the reason:
What got out? Well, just "… Name, Discord username, email and other contact details … billing information … IP addresses … government‑ID images (e.g., driver’s license, passport) from users who had appealed an age determination"
Well, happy identity thefting then… Remember: what's not there, cannot be stolen

The recent Discord data breach is a perfect example of why Age Verification is a privacy and security nightmare. If your country is considering Age Verification laws, you need to oppose that ASAP! Contact your lawmakers before these laws come to your neighborhood!

Bluesky rolls out age verification for users in Ohio
Bluesky will enable the Kids Web Services’ (KWS) age verification solution in the state. This is the same solution that Bluesky is already using in South Dakota and Wyoming to comply with similar laws.
