> mandatory age verification for all users is rolling out next month I thought age verification was only required to access "adult" content?

It covers more than that, but it's not strictly mandatory. > Content Filters: Discord users will need to be age-assured as adults in order to unblur sensitive content or turn off the setting. > Age-gated Spaces – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands. > Message Request Inbox: Direct messages from people a user may not know are routed to a separate inbox by default, and access to modify this setting is limited to age-assured adult users. > Friend Request Alerts: People will receive warning prompts for friend requests from users they may not know. > Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers.

  > > Stage Restrictions: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers. Does this mean that in panel-like settings where 100s of users are listening to a speaker, in order to ask or contribute in voice you need to be verified?

    I guess so, since the same role is used for anyone with permission to speak up in a stage channel. https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005513722-Stage-Channels-FAQ#h_01F22AKYY4AFEK1JDWG2THSVY7 https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005513722-... Hell if I know why unverified users are allowed to speak in normal voice channels but not in stage channels.

What gets deemed “adult” is incredibly random as far as I can tell, some of our servers/messages have triggered it, but no porn or anything is shared in them.

    Year at the time X was OPENLY posting and later selling (feature hid behind paid subscription) CSAM(1) and non consensual nudity payment processors were still okay with it.
