Within 90 Days, Texas Users Will Be Blocked From Accessing Certain Content Unless They Are Verified As Adults

Discord has agreed to a Texas court order requiring it to implement age verification for users in the state, mirroring measures it already uses in the United Kingdom. Within 90 days, Texas users will be blocked from accessing certain content unless they are verified as adults. The agreement follows a lawsuit filed by Texas under its consumer-protection law, which argued that the social messaging platform did not do enough to shield children from sexual predators and other dangers. Discord does not admit wrongdoing as part of the deal.
