The platform says hackers targeted a firm that helped to verify the ages of its users.
We told you this would happen. We told you this would be the result of “age verification”. As usual, you fucking didn’t listen.
I hope Discord is sued into receivership over this.
Discord isn’t the one that got hacked and leaked the info, it’s whatever 3rd party they used.
I thought that they were deleting the photos immediately after verification. They didn’t??? Why aren’t these companies being investigated and punished?
Because money. We’ll soon have to take things into our own hands, as the establishment only protects itself, and not us plebs.
It would be a clear gdpr violation in Europe
Who could’ve seen that coming?
This article is dated “9 October 2025” which would make it almost a year old.
Yeah, dates in submission links would be great. Wonder if it can be automated so when I submit a URL, lemmy fetches the creation date while it’s fetching the headline.
I hope I never gave them that. I had Nitro for a bit, but I don’t think I would have ever willingly gave them that.
really posting something from last year when the age thing is coming out
Wow, and now they want to relay your info through 2 or 3 parties for verications.
How am I just now hearing about this?
Oh this is gonna be sweet, my photo is of a 1970’s pr0nstar.
