Discord is implementing an age verification system using a third-party vendor called Persona. This rollout has sparked privacy concerns among users due to Persona's connections to Peter Thiel, a co-founder of Palantir. The conversation highlights a report from PC Gamer regarding these ties and shows a user asking for more details on the situation.
