    Why add age checks?

    I’ve read this from several sources now and not found anywhere that explains why they’re doing this. Are they being threatened with legal action?

      tinfoil hat on: discord is a company based in the USA, the USA administration saw those teenagers in Nepal supposedly organise a revolt/revolution over discord, sees the inhabitants of Minneapolis organizing against ICE on Signal, and wants to preemptively know which of their citizens are using discord with which accounts in case any of them start organizing on discord.
