Discord's February 2026 announcement sent shockwaves through its 200-million-strong user base. Here is what changed.
Starting March 2026, Discord requires all 200M+ users to submit a face scan or government-issued ID just to keep using the platform. Your biometric data, stored on their servers.
In 2025, a Discord data breach exposed over 70,000 government-issued IDs that users had uploaded for verification. The same system they now want to make mandatory.
Over 11,000 reviews on Trustpilot and a 1.4-star average. Users report account bans without explanation, ignored support tickets lasting weeks, and lost access to paid content.
Thousands of users report being permanently banned without warning or reason. No appeal process that works, no human support, and no way to recover years of community data.
A side-by-side comparison of what each platform offers. Kommu does everything Discord does and much more.
