Just so we’re all clear:

Things that you SHOULD NOT deadname

Trans women

Trans men

Non binary people

Any other trans identity that doesn’t fit into those three

Cis people who changed their name

Anyone who goes by a different name then the one their parents gave them regardless of how “good” of a person they are, or your personal feeling towards them

Things that you SHOULD deadname

The link to the article, for those who wanted it.

"Impossibly, despite its attempts to pacify the ensuing outcry by issuing a clarification that merely some users will be required to submit to its child detection matrix, Discord has managed to make the rollout of its global age assurance policy seem even grimier. The company has informed some users in the UK they may be part of "an experiment" with Persona, an age verification vendor whose investors include Peter Thiel, co-founder of ICE's premier surveillance provider, Palantir."

You can read more about Persona Identities (AI) here. (I had to sort through half a dozen "Persona AI" websites until I found the right one). Persona was also chosen by Roblox, another platform used heavily by kids, to do age verification scans utilizing biometric data.

As for the AI, if you look at Discord's primary investors... all of the investment funds are major investors in AI.

If you want to take a look at what they're investing in: Benchmark Capital -> Index Ventures -> IVP -> Spark Capital -> Greylock Partners -> Dragoneer Investment -> Greenoaks Capital -> Fidelity Investments -> Accel Partners -> Arcane Group

Discord needs you 🫵 to give them more data for their AI training 💕

This rollout of age verification is made particularly crazy as the timely news regarding the Epstein files just came out with the revelation that the co-founder of the company that owns the Lifetouch company, which does school pictures for kids in tens of thousands of schools across the US, was heavily involved with Epstein. Lifetouch stores the kids' photos and data digitally. While not directly related to Discord, its recency has me thinking very strongly about what actually is being done with the data these companies collect and who it's being sold to and how it's being used. Track records suggest: nothing good lmao
