Discord claims "most users" will never go through an age verification process because they're already monitoring your behavior.

Discord claims "most users" will never go through an age verification process because they're already monitoring your behavior.
For the majority of adult users, we will be able to confirm your age group using information we already have. We use age prediction to determine, with high confidence, when a user is an adult. This allows many adults to access age-appropriate features without completing an explicit age check.
Gotta say, constant behavior analysis is not the warm and fuzzy blanket they seem to think it is.

In addition to your age, they are also estimating your gender.
You can check for yourself. Here’s how.

I guess companies may be hoping to prevent more effective legislation than Australia’s total ban on kids internet usageWhich kids are totally walking right past and getting straight to the adult content (unintended consequences anyone?)
