Discord 全球推出“默认青少年”年龄设置

Discord 于 2 月 9 日宣布新默认设置,以提升适合年龄的体验,将于 3 月实施。“默认青少年”政策要求进行年龄验证才能访问敏感内容和功能。用户对隐私和潜在数据泄露表示担忧。

2026 年 2 月 9 日,Discord——一个拥有超过 2 亿月活跃用户(截至 2025 年)的流行语音聊天和消息平台——宣布对其设置进行更改。这些更改将于 3 月对全球所有用户生效,扩展超出最初在英国和澳大利亚的测试范围。目标是保护新用户和现有用户免受 Discord 服务器中年龄限制区域的侵害,并防止遭受恶意个人的侵害。 Discord 的公告称:“全球新用户和现有 Discord 用户将被分配新的默认设置,支持适合年龄的体验,同时将隐私置于首位。”在新系统下,用户需要作为成人进行年龄确认才能取消模糊敏感内容或禁用该设置。只有经过年龄确认的成人才能访问年龄限制频道、服务器和应用命令。来自未知联系人的直接消息将被路由到单独的收件箱,只有成人才能修改。陌生人好友请求会有警告提示,并且只有成人才能在服务器的舞台频道发言。 虽然意图良好,但用户对这些限制和年龄验证流程提出投诉。最初,许多人认为所有用户都需要向第三方验证者提交身份证或自拍视频。Discord 澄清,大多数成人无需这样做,将使用 AI 驱动的年龄预测来自信地确认成年身份。然而,对数据安全的担忧依然存在,尤其是在 2025 年 10 月发生的一起事件中,一家第三方供应商被黑,导致约 7 万用户的政府身份证照片泄露。 Discord 表示,它仅接收用户的年龄,面部扫描永不离开设备,身份证在用于年龄确定后即被删除。由于之前的泄露事件,疑虑依然存在。此外,有报道称一种基于浏览器的工具使用假 3D 头像绕过验证,突显了系统潜在的漏洞。

Discord defaults all users to teen settings with age verification

由 AI 报道 AI 生成的图像

Discord announced it will default all accounts to a teen-appropriate experience starting in early March, requiring age verification to access adult content and restricted servers. The move aims to enhance child safety but has sparked backlash over privacy concerns following a recent data breach. Verification options include on-device facial estimation or submitting government IDs.

Discord has informed UK users that they may be part of an experiment using the age-assurance vendor Persona for verification, where submitted data is temporarily stored unlike previous promises. This change has raised privacy concerns among users, particularly due to Persona's links to investor Peter Thiel and his surveillance firm Palantir. The update is part of a broader global rollout of mandatory age verification starting in early March.

Roblox's new AI-powered age verification system, aimed at curbing child predators on the platform, is facing significant issues just days after launch. Reports indicate misclassifications of users' ages and easy workarounds by children, while developers complain of reduced engagement. The system was introduced amid lawsuits and investigations into safety concerns.

The UK's Information Commissioner's Office has fined Reddit £14.5 million ($19.6 million) for failing to adequately verify user ages, resulting in the unlawful processing of children's personal data. The penalty addresses lapses before and after Reddit's July 2025 implementation of age checks for adult content. Reddit plans to appeal, citing its commitment to user privacy.

Several countries have implemented or debated measures to limit children's and teenagers' access to social media, citing impacts on mental health and privacy. In Argentina, experts emphasize the need for digital education and structural regulations beyond simple bans. The issue involves not only child protection but also the platforms' data-based business model.

Critics in the UK are voicing strong opposition to proposals that could restrict access to virtual private networks through age verification requirements. The plans, aimed at enhancing online safety, have sparked concerns about privacy and internet freedom. It remains uncertain whether these measures will actually become law.
