"textContent": "Despite speculation online, Discord has not announced any pause or cancellation of global age verification beginning early in March 2026. If the changes go into effect as planned, all users will receive teen-by-default settings, and those seeking access to age-restricted spaces may be prompted to verify their age. The confusion likely stems from reports that the messaging service has ended its partnership with Persona, a third-party identity verification company.\n\nThe post Discord Drops ID Check Partner, Appears to Still Be Moving Forward With Age Verification Rollout appeared first on That Park Place.",
