Discord Adds Age Verification, but Users Are Beating It With Death Stranding 2

by

Users in the UK who use Discord are now subject to stricter age verification rules. But it wasn’t long before users discovered a workaround, and this method is quite unexpected. The latest release of Hideo Kojima’s game, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, has been generating buzz in the gaming world and receiving numerous compliments. It can now add another achievement to its list, as players are leveraging this game to dodge Discord’s age verification checks.

In the UK, Discord has implemented age verification through K-ID for users accessing adult content, as mandated by the Online Safety Act. This usually involves scanning your face or ID to confirm your age. However, it appears that this system can be circumvented, as some users have exploited the photo mode in “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach” to bypass the checks.

As a gamer diving into the world of “Death Stranding 2”, I stumbled upon an intriguing process shared by Dany Sterkhov. To verify my age, I decided to make use of the unique selfie mode within the game. I took a snapshot of Sam Porter Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus, and submitted it for age confirmation.

However, the verification didn’t stop there; I was asked to prove my authenticity. Using the same system, I snapped another picture with Porter’s mouth wide open. With fingers crossed, I followed through with the method, and it worked! I successfully completed the age verification process in the captivating universe of “Death Stranding 2”.

It’s been alleged that K-ID doesn’t keep any videos or photos used for user age verification, but some people are skeptical about this claim. In fact, within just 24 hours of Discord implementing age verification, users found a way around it using the same method as those with “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach”. Users without this game may need to explore alternative methods or simply verify their age through other means.
