      Just the UK, as far as I’m able to find. Some US users have to verify by clicking the box, but I do not believe they’ve been en-masse required to upload ID or use the UK’s facial recognition nonsense.

      From the discord age verification FAQ:

      The age verification features described in this article are fully available only to users in the United Kingdom and apply to all new and existing UK accounts.
