If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.

Social media are more and more required by law to prevent kids from using their service. I don't see a way to achieve that with no risks to privacy.

Which is why the laws suck. Don't fix a stupid law with stupid policy, fix the stupid law.

Then there shouldn't be such laws. It's not the government's job to parent.

I couldn't imagine an AI model will be very accurate of being able to identify a 11 year old vs a 13 year old. I assume this is more to try and vett whether they can access NSFW channels or not, but honestly since humans can't properly vett that, I don't know how an AI is supposed to reliably do that.
