Re: Discord, obviously the "well it's just porn" excuse has been slaughtered countless times and we should all understand the reason that excuse holds no ground, but it's worth mentioning that it isn't just porn.
I moderate a vtuber fan server for Takanashi Kiara. It has, at the time of writing this, 24,000 members. That channel has several sources of 18+ channels that are relevant to this conversation.
The first, obviously, is NSFW channels. They exist, we allow them, they're 18+ gated because obviously we don't let minors look at porn. The second is the staff channels, for moderation, because we sometimes post porn in there in the event that something needs to be moderated about (i.e. someone posts racist porn or some shit and we need to link to the specific message for logging purposes).
Already this means channels outside of specific NSFW channels are required by Discord's public server rules to be marked 18+, but wait, there's more!
We also have a channel that posts Kiara's tweets via a bot. Kiara is an adult who occasionally posts

We also have a channel that posts Kiara's tweets via a bot. Kiara is an adult who occasionally posts risque content. We are required to mark that as 18+ as well. And for the cherry on top, because we still are not done, Discord has one more little surprise for you.
You thought Discord was forcing age verification so minors wouldn't be allowed to look at porn? Haha, cute. Discord's rules ban discussion of firearms, military equipment, and any other "dangerous or regulated goods" outside of age-gated channels. We have several hobby channels for people in the community to discuss shit in. Discord requires us to mark the HISTORY CHANNEL as 18+ due to it containing occasional discussion of military history.
So, in conclusion, it is not just about porn (though even if it was it'd still be unacceptable what Discord is doing). Discord's nonsensical rules have already age-gated discussion of several extremely harmless topics in an attempt to restrict what information minors are allowed to have access to (conveniently this would include several ONGOING conflicts worldwide), and this new change is a further attempt to restrict who is allowed to have access to specific information.
Cancel your nitro if you have it, make a feedback post on their support website if you can, give them hell for this. It is an attack on freedom of information and an attack on the ability of younger generations (and even adults who simply value their privacy) to access knowledge on vital current events disguised as an attempt to "protect children".
Fuck Discord, fuck data harvesting, and most importantly fuck fascism.
