Just the UK, as far as I'm able to find. Some US users have to verify by clicking the box, but I do not believe they've been en-masse required to upload ID or use the UK's facial recognition nonsense.

From the discord age verification FAQ:

The age verification features described in this article are fully available only to users in the United Kingdom and apply to all new and existing UK accounts.

So I guess it was only UK ones. For some reason I thought they were asking pictures in the US too.

You might be confusing it with how several states have attempted to implement identity verification for access to porn sites (which has so far avoided a similar scandal to this one by virtue of rampant, contemptuous noncompliance on the part of the porn sites)
