Discord slammed over age verification face scan controversy
www.newsweek.com
Discord users are unhappy with the platform's decision to roll out age verification requirements for adult user accounts starting in March.

Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

            Team speak 6. Still is missing basic features and has had quality of life and basic features open as requests for ever at this point and it’s unlikely it’s ever going to happen.

            Teamspeaks six’s devs have also just pretty much made it clear they aren’t really trying.

            If it works for you as it currently is great, it’s acceptable and it’s fine. It’s team speaker works. But just like back in the day with TeamSpeak 3. The devs are slow, they don’t do anything and they don’t want to do anything. It’s been a problem with the app literally since day one.
