Discord cut ties with its age-verification partner after exposed code fueled federal-reporting concerns, months after a breach hit 70,000 users.

Discord gets paid for user's data and they just lost a ton of users. That's why they are "cutting ties" with Persona.

I suspect its more of a temporary reaction and they will reframe this age-verification and the related data collection and try again later.
