Limit Discord Usage to Individuals 18 and Older


Limit Discord Usage to Individuals 18 and Older
The Issue
As someone deeply concerned with the safety and well-being of young minds, it alarms me how many underage individuals, such as my dear friend Hussain, have unfettered access to platforms like Discord. Initiated as a space for mature dialogues and discussions, Discord has expanded its audience to include a sizeable portion of users below 18. This poses potential risks, exposing adolescents and children to content that they may not be equipped to process safely. A report on Digital Trends reveals that over 30% of teenagers use Discord, an alarming figure considering the potential for unregulated content (Digital Trends, 2020). Thus, it is only reasonable and wise to impose a strict 18 and older age requirement for users on the platform. A legal age requirement will help ensure that Discord continues to foster safe and secure communications without harming our impressionable youth. Please support this struggle, as our young people are deeply dependent on us to protect them from harm both seen and unseen. Please sign this petition to limit Discord usage to individuals 18 and older.
