Discord is Rolling out Facial Scanning.....

You'll still be able to use Discord if you opt not to participate in this particular surveillance nightmare, but beginning in early March you'll be locked into a "teen-appropriate experience" if you don't. That means content filters, age gates, the inability to speak in "stage channels"—essentially channels that enable a group of people to converse while an audience listens—and restrictions on direct message and friend requests.

I don't even really know what to say here.  Rumors all over the internet put this as not a good announcement.  Personally, I have pulled ALL of my payments to Discord, including my Nitro and all server boosts I had put out for 2 different communities.  This is a me decision because I feel like this is the start to something really bad from Discord.  There's talks of alternatives popping up all over social media, but I guess we'll see where this heads from here.  Rumor has it, all apps and sites are going to be required to do this in the future.

I don't know about you guys, but I personally support the user's right to their personal data.  I don't think facial scans, or ID requirements are the correct answer to the current ongoing issues.
