Because the service operates on people sharing usernames to maintain a connection. Can you imagine a special Discord for under 13-year-olds with no username? No way to identify them? No. Also if you read the information they have to wipe, it includes usernames. It doesn't matter where you are personally accessing them from. It's a lot of hassle, there's a lot of rules, and it makes Discord nearly unusable to under 13 year olds.īut this is just a guess, since that's why most sites do it.Įdit: To be clear, Discord servers are in the USA, and therefore have to comply with USA laws. Especially now that they sell games, which forces them to keep information that isn't allowed under COPPA to maintain a database of users, and breaks the one-time contact law without parents consent and permissions, directly obtained by e-mailing them. Which makes Discord as a service much harder to maintain, or even begin to comply with the law on.
A home or other physical address including street name and name of a city or town.They also have to delete information posted therein the moment it's out of use.
If they're handling users under 13, they have to do stuff like specially single them out, and allow parents access to their files and posts, and the ability to delete them. This is likely to comply with COPPA, which was passed by congress in 1998. Hopefully I get an answer to this and maybe even some action. Come down on the servers that break the rules, But don't restrict such a useful and easy to use method of group communication, As it simply is unnecessary and harming to the reputation of discord from an out look, As that discord have to restrict it to 13+ because they don't have the ability to come down on those who violate the terms and services. Sometimes, they are a better input than the older people. I have many friends who are Under 13 and yet are very positive on discord and cause no harm and have no harm caused to them. Maybe I am missing something, But from my perspective, It should be the responsibility of the server owner to make sure the server is suitable for people that age, And then take action accordingly. I, And many other discord users have found this rule pointless. Recently the No Under 13 rule has come out. The issues of sexual orientation and sexual behavior (as well as the points they differ and overlap) still require further research and are more complex than most believe.This is hopefully for discord to hear and understand, As well as maybe change things from this comment. Politics is all about rights and bills, which genuinely affect people the most. Though, it’s worth mentioning that the recent year saw a rise of several pro-LGBT religious groups, including individual churches, synagogues, and denominations. Religion comes from the perspective of religious fundamentalism. Healthcare is all about biology, particularly neurobiological research, and our psychosexual development studied by Freud. As every field brings its side of sexuality to the front, and none take a comprehensive approach. And we doubt they’ll achieve a common ground anytime in the future. Is it a choice or a predisposition? The best minds of our world have not come to a unanimous conclusion yet. Numerous scientists, psychologists, healthcare professionals, and even religious activists are debating the nature of homosexuality (as well as other kinds of sexuality). Why am I gay ? That is a question that is even harder to answer.
