@404mediaco good thing I've not done 'age verification' on any site. I'm not stupid, I know it is a scam, and has nothing to do with age verification.

@404mediaco Who would have thought that identity verification data can get stolen from servers.

@404mediaco wait, Discord has a user “verification” system? Surely this is the result of a government regulation or something 😅
