    Just the UK, as far as I’m able to find. Some US users have to verify by clicking the box, but I do not believe they’ve been en-masse required to upload ID or use the UK’s facial recognition nonsense.

    From the discord age verification FAQ:

    The age verification features described in this article are fully available only to users in the United Kingdom and apply to all new and existing UK accounts.

      So I guess it was only UK ones. For some reason I thought they were asking pictures in the US too.
