Discord access is not universal.
Discord age-assurance requirements
Discord has introduced age-assurance requirements that may affect access to age-restricted spaces and certain safety settings. This is tracked separately from country-level restrictions because it is a platform policy and compliance issue, not a universal geographic block.
Discord says age-assurance requirements are being shaped by laws already in effect in the UK and Australia, with Brazil following. Discord also says most users should not need to verify their age to continue using Discord normally, but some users may need to verify adult status to access age-restricted spaces or certain safety settings.
