If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.
Oh, look, one more service that I won’t need to use anymore.
I already hate how so many things use discord when it could be on a simple web page instead. I won’t miss it, I’m not going to submit to that either.
I have yet to use discord and I haven’t felt like I’ve been missing anything as a result.
A lot of games/gaming communities have moved from forum/wiki info repositories to “it’s on the official discord” type stuff.
According to a comment on YouTube:
I have taken a look at the developer documentation. It appears it works by downloading an AI model to a web browser window (on mobile, the model would be bundled within the app instead). The facial analysis is performed within the window/app, running on your own hardware, and then the estimation result is sent back to the web server. This means they don’t necessarily need the footage uploaded to their servers, but it doesn’t rule out the possibility that they might do it anyway.
Just some extra context.

Idk how to post as non-mod, please don’t be mad
If it runs locally, how do they know to trust the result?
I’m not sure, but the percentage of kids younger than 13 that would know how to manipulate that would be very little, I presume. Small enough to be considered an error margin I guess?
Just wait; in 2 weeks the extension to break this will be in both chrome and Firefox store.
