I agree you could paint it as evil. To throw @Mubelotix@jlai.lu a bone -

Oh, Discord cares about minors? That’s why they developed something that has like a 1% chance of doing its job and only kicking little kids off if they slip up and literally say their age? If they cared about kids and not growth metrics, their approach would actually have teeth. This is just feel-good, talking-point crap.
