Why would minors need to provide photos? The point of this is to verify adult users.

I was speaking of the “face scan” option listed as #1 option on Discord’s “How To Complete Age Assurance”. It’s well known minors are using and/or gaming the face scanning on other platforms. Some adults are even having their accounts downgraded to a minor-level restricted account based on their face scan. All around it’s a terrible implementation for age verification.
