Thankfully I haven't used discord in forever and won't need to in the foreseeable.
That said, looking at this implementation it seems as though using option 1 their AI is just going to guess your age from looking at you. It might instruct you to turn this way or that, but it's just video or stills.
It's only if their AI can't be confident that you're over 18 that you're referred to option 2, which requires ID.
How easy will it be to emulate a camera device to help you work around option 1? I suspect very easy.
Being 43, I'm not worried about passing the age restriction, I'm just hoping to avoid ever having to show my real face to a platform like this.
I'm using Matrix full time if the prompt shows up on my screen.
