I wonder if they'll take into account that, had I signed up at (the youngest possible age of) 13, the age of my account would then make me 21. I suppose they can't really sell that inferred data...

You could have lied then too and not been 13 at the time

The article says they may check metadata to verify users as well, so as far as I can tell, they will take that into account.

Did they edit the article or am I maybe just blind? I don't see metadata being mentioned anywhere in the article or in the original Discord announcement. I even did a ctrl+f on meta, and nothing came up.

Oh dang no this article didn't, the one from the Verge mentioned it: https://www.theverge.com/tech/875309/discord-age-verification-global-roll-out

Sorry I read 2-3 articles about this and mixed up which ones mentioned what.

Ah, thanks a lot for the link! I appreciate it. They really should put that information into their official announcement as well.
