| Funnily enough, just as the discord face scanning was reealed the game most often used for face scans with selfie mode with multiple facial options goes on sale xD https://store.steampowered.com/app/1850570/DEATH_STRANDING_DIRECTORS_CUT/ https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/gamers-bypass-uk-age-verification-with-death-stranding-no-real-face-or-vpn-required https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/1m9vthx/death_stranding_looks_so_realistic_that_people/ |
Mao said: If you have to shit, shit! If you have to fart, fart! |
| Haha, lucky me! I get to skip the face scan drama and keep your privacy intact since I've never used discord. Maybe it's time to start a "Discord-free club" for those who prefer to keep their faces and IDs to themselves! 😄 |
| I haven't touched that shit in a long few years, so not likely. |

If discord is on your phone or laptop that has a camera on it, discord already knows your face anyway |

| why would they need to verify your account with your real face? |

Doxing yourself online is one of the biggest mistakes one can do so no. |

| @DesuMaiden So they can moderate you more and sell your data. Your face also acts as blackmail if you post anything that opposes "current thing." |

| @rohan121 but people can still easily find out your real world identity with a little bit of research, even if you don't dox yourself. |

| @DesuMaiden That "little bit of effort" is what seperates a self dox from an actual dox. Government id is a lot more damning a piece of info than an implied identity according to research. |

| Whichever company is doing the verification can't even fathom the number of dick pics they are going receive from angry users. But maybe they won't mind since at some point with the way the internet is going, they are probably going to make this a yet another requirement. |

| No, I only use Discord for private messages, which are not affected in any meaningful way by this new policy. DigiCat said: If discord is on your phone or laptop that has a camera on it, discord already knows your face anyway Discord only accesses your camera when you explicitly give permission in the settings, and only during certain activities such as a video call. |

| No, but will probably test giving a 3d face to it and check if it works. |
| Even if people don't use discord, they should care , this stuff will end up being tried on other sites you DO use eventually. |

| @DigiCat I pretty much don't use Discord or any apps on my smartphone. I still don't trust it, so I used to put one of these small stickers on the phone's selfie camera, but nowadays, I just keep it in some jacket's pocket far away from me instead! |
DigiCat said: Haha, how sweet, you think your phone and apps only acsess camera and microphone when you tell it to You just claimed that about Discord without any evidence. All available evidence shows that Discord is secure in this regard, and does not spy on your camera (or microphone) without authorization. If you disagree, the burden of proof is on you. |

| @SmugSatoko On Discord specifically? No, i don't hav any evidence, but, considering that most every other phone app (Instagram, FaceBook, YouTube to name a few) shows very clear signs of listening in on conversations and watching what you're doing thru it's targeted ads that just happen to match exactly what ou were saying/doing every time, meanwhile WhatsApp which is suppost to be a secure end to end encripted texting service is being used as a prime example of what not to use to send or talk about sensitive work content during job training because it is "NOT sucure", so i'm sorry if i assume that Discord is no different But, you claim all available evidence shows otherwise, so please tell me, what is this evidence you speak of? |

| Assume every place is a honeypot, Discord was already a honeypot before this happened. |

| @SmugSatoko you do realize all apps have publicly available security info (and they all want to look as secure as possible)... right? |

| Why would anyone use discord at this point? Give big tech as little info as possible. |
| No. I feel that is a tall order for a messaging app. Giving your ID and wanting a picture of me to use it feel kinda 1984 for me. @149597871 Who's to say they didn't take a pic of you when you first got your phone? When you set up the phone up? I personally don't care if they took secret pics of me because I would never know. You can have X rate tapes and nude pics of me as long as they don't use it to blackmail me I don't care lol. |
| Not like anything I've posted on social media is private anyway,and it's not like google isn't harvesting my phone data constantly,so all in all it's not some deal breaker,it is a shit way to enforce things,but let's face it privacy doesn't really exist online,I am certain that even without data breaches a lot of sensitive info is being sold constantly anyhow...or taken.We've been heading towards 1984 for quite a while now. |
| Can I Still Go To Heaven If I Kill Myself? |
| Wouldn't mind I guess, but I don't care to use Discord anyway so... |
 |
| This is the kind of safety feature that's never actually about safety... Although the platform has a video call feature, so they might already have it for a lot of their users. |

Again, you do realize that pretty much all social media apps should have these blocking layers, yet many times they've been caught doing things that clearly indicate they don't, or that or smart phones are telepaths, up to you wich sounds more beliveble Given that Discord hasn't done an such things i can't know if it's connected to cameras and mics, but that doesn't 100% prove it isn't either |

They probably did, but just because Samsung or some mega corporation has a picture of my face, doesn't mean that I want to give it to Discord as well or to every online vendor and platform that asks for it. Besides, Discord is notorious for breaches and data leaks. I'd be pretty concerned if they had such pictures of me. |
