SAN FRANCISCO, February 9, 2026 – Discord is announcing enhanced teen safety features rolling out globally that reinforce its long-standing commitment to creating a safer and more inclusive experience for users over the age of 13. As part of this update, all new and existing users worldwide will have a teen-appropriate experience by default, with updated communication settings, restricted access to age-gated spaces, and content filtering that preserves the privacy and meaningful connections that define Discord.

> 舊金山，2026 年 2 月 9 日 – Discord 宣布將在全球推出強化的青少年安全功能，進一步落實其長期以來對為 13 歲以上使用者打造更安全、更包容使用體驗的承諾。作為此次更新的一部分，全球所有新舊使用者都將預設獲得符合青少年使用的體驗，包含更新的通訊設定、限制存取具年齡分級的空間，以及在保有隱私與有意義連結前提下的內容篩選。

Beginning with a phased global rollout to new and existing users in early March, users may be required to engage in an age-verification process to change certain settings or access sensitive content. This includes age-restricted channels, servers, or commands and select message requests.

> 自 3 月初起，將分階段向新舊使用者在全球推送。使用者若要變更特定設定或存取敏感內容，可能需要進行年齡驗證流程。這包括受年齡限制的頻道、伺服器或指令，以及特定的訊息請求。

“Nowhere is our safety work more important than when it comes to teen users, which is why we are announcing these updates in time for Safer Internet Day. Rolling out teen-by-default settings globally builds on Discord’s existing safety architecture, giving teens strong protections while allowing verified adults flexibility. We design our products with teen safety principles at the core and will continue working with safety experts, policymakers, and Discord users to support meaningful, long term wellbeing for teens on the platform.” – Savannah Badalich, Head of Product Policy at Discord.

> 「在安全工作中，青少年使用者始終是我們最重視的族群，因此我們特別趕在『更安全的網際網路日』前宣布這些更新。於全球推出『預設為青少年』設定，建立在 Discord 既有的安全架構之上，為青少年提供強而有力的保護，同時讓已驗證為成人的使用者保有彈性。我們以青少年安全原則為核心設計產品，並將持續與安全專家、決策者及 Discord 使用者合作，支持青少年在平台上的長期、具意義的身心健康。」– Discord 產品政策負責人 Savannah Badalich

## Privacy-Forward Age Assurance （以隱私為先的年齡保證）

Age assurance is the foundation of this new experience and is designed to respect Discord users’ privacy and choice. Discord users can choose to use facial age estimation or submit a form of identification to its vendor partners, with more options coming in the future. Additionally, Discord will implement its age inference model, a new system that runs in the background to help determine whether an account belongs to an adult, without always requiring users to verify their age. Some users may be asked to use multiple methods if more information is needed to assign an age group.

> 年齡保證（Age Assurance）是這次新體驗的基礎，並在設計上尊重 Discord 使用者的隱私與選擇。Discord 使用者可選擇使用臉部年齡估測，或向合作的供應商夥伴提交身分證件；未來將提供更多選項。此外，Discord 也將實作其年齡推斷模型，這是一套在背景執行的新系統，有助於判定帳號是否屬於成人，而不一定每次都要求使用者驗證年齡。若需要更多資訊以判定年齡族群，部分使用者可能會被要求使用多種方式。
> [name=Kagi][color=#feb219]

Key privacy protections of Discord’s age-assurance approach include:
- **On-device processing**: Video selfies for facial age estimation never leave a user’s device.
- **Quick deletion**: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.
- **Straightforward verification**: In most cases, users complete the process once and their Discord experience adapts to their verified age group. Users may be asked to use multiple methods only when more information is needed to assign an age group.
- **Private status**: A user’s age verification status cannot be seen by other users.

> Discord 年齡保證方法的重點隱私保護包含：
> - **裝置端處理**：用於臉部年齡估測的影片自拍不會離開使用者的裝置。
> - **快速刪除**：提交給我們供應商夥伴的身分證件會被快速刪除——在多數情況下，於年齡確認後立即刪除。
> - **簡易驗證**：多數情況下，使用者只需完成一次流程，其 Discord 體驗便會依其已驗證的年齡族群而調整。只有在需要更多資訊以判定年齡族群時，才可能被要求使用多種方式。
> - **私密狀態**：其他使用者無法看見某位使用者的年齡驗證狀態。
> [name=Kagi][color=#feb219]

After completing a chosen method, users will receive confirmation via a direct message from Discord’s official account. A user’s assigned age group can also be viewed at any time in “My Account” settings. Users can always go to “My Account” settings to appeal their assigned age group by retrying the process. Discord prompts users to age-assure only within Discord and currently does not send emails or text messages about its age assurance process or results.

> 完成所選方法後，使用者將會收到來自 Discord 官方帳號的私訊確認。使用者也可隨時在「我的帳戶」設定中查看其指派的年齡族群。若對指派的年齡族群有異議，使用者可隨時前往「我的帳戶」設定，透過重試流程提出申訴。Discord 只會在 Discord 內提示使用者進行年齡保證，目前不會就年齡保證流程或結果發送電子郵件或簡訊。

## Default Safety Settings （預設安全設定）

Starting in early March, all new and existing Discord users globally will be assigned new default settings that support age-appropriate experiences while keeping privacy front and center:

- **Content Filters**: Discord users will need to be age-assured as adults in order to unblur sensitive content or turn off the setting.
- **Age-gated Spaces** – Only users who are age-assured as adults will be able to access age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands.
- **Message Request Inbox**: Direct messages from people a user may not know are routed to a separate inbox by default, and access to modify this setting is limited to age-assured adult users.
- **Friend Request Alerts**: People will receive warning prompts for friend requests from users they may not know.
- **Stage Restrictions**: Only age-assured adults may speak on stage in servers.

> 自 3 月初起，全球所有新舊 Discord 使用者都將套用新的預設設定，在將隱私放在核心位置的同時，提供符合年齡的使用體驗：
> - **內容篩選器**：使用者需通過成人年齡保證，才能取消敏感內容的模糊處理或關閉該設定。
> - **年齡限制空間**：只有通過成人年齡保證的使用者，才能存取受年齡限制的頻道、伺服器與應用程式指令。
> - **訊息請求收件匣**：來自可能不認識對象的私訊，預設會導向到獨立的收件匣；只有通過成人年齡保證的使用者才能調整此設定。
> - **好友邀請警示**：對於可能不認識對象所發出的好友邀請，系統將顯示警示提示。
> - **舞台限制**：只有通過成人年齡保證的使用者，才能在伺服器的舞台上發言。

Last year, Discord successfully launched a teen-by-default experience in the UK and Australia, and this global rollout builds on that approach to deliver consistent, age-appropriate protections worldwide.

> 去年，Discord 已在英國與澳洲成功推出「預設為青少年」體驗，而這次的全球推行則在此基礎上擴展，為全球提供一致且符合年齡的保護。

## Giving Teens a Seat at the Table: Introducing the Discord Teen Council （讓青少年擁有發聲席位：推出 Discord 青少年議會）

Along with enhanced teen safety features, Discord is announcing recruitment for its inaugural Teen Council, a teen advisory body that brings authentic teen perspectives into how Discord shapes their experience. The Teen Council will consist of 10-12 teens and will help ensure Discord understands - not assumes - what teens need, how they build meaningful connections, and what makes them feel safe and supported online.

> 除了強化的青少年安全功能外，Discord 也宣布啟動首屆青少年議會的招募，這是一個由青少年組成的諮詢團體，將真實呈現青少年觀點，影響 Discord 如何塑造他們的使用體驗。青少年議會將由 10-12 位青少年組成，協助確保 Discord 不是臆測，而是真正理解青少年的需求、他們如何建立有意義的連結，以及什麼能讓他們在網路上感到安全且被支持。
> [name=Kagi][color=#feb219]

By embedding diverse teen perspectives directly into decision-making, the Council will help ensure Discord’s safety features are protective while balancing teen privacy and autonomy. Council input will inform future product features, policies, and educational resources, grounding Discord’s approach in how teens connect through gaming, shared interests, and online communities. Interested teens aged 13-17 can apply to participate in the Teen Council at the link here from now until May 1, 2026.

> 透過將多元的青少年觀點直接納入決策，議會將協助確保 Discord 的安全功能在提供保護的同時，兼顧青少年的隱私與自主性。議會的意見將為未來的產品功能、政策與教育資源提供參考，並以青少年透過遊戲、共同興趣與線上社群連結的方式為基礎。13-17 歲的有興趣者可即日起至 2026 年 5 月 1 日透過此連結申請參與青少年議會。

Discord’s teen-appropriate experience by default builds on Discord’s broader safety ecosystem, which includes tools and resources such as Ignore, Family Center, Teen Safety Assist, Warning System, Guardian’s Guide, and more. Together, these efforts reflect Discord’s commitment to creating privacy-forward, age-appropriate experiences that empower teens to engage thoughtfully, connect meaningfully, and develop lifelong digital well-being skills.

> Discord 的「預設為青少年」體驗，建構在更廣泛的安全生態系之上，其中包含「忽略」、「家庭中心」、「青少年安全助理」、「警告系統」、「監護人指南」等工具與資源。這些努力相輔相成，展現了 Discord 致力於打造以隱私為先、符合年齡的體驗，讓青少年能夠審慎參與、有意義地連結，並培養終身受用的數位福祉技能。
