      Age Verification is still being pushed and people need to be reminded.

        At least put the article date in the title. I thought it was a new occurrence as well.

        This is not judge, this just information to save click for anyone already familiar.

    Thing that has happened before and everyone knew it would happen again, has happened. The company assures us this was an isolated incident and will definitely not happen again, until it inevitably does.

        Relevant yes, but important context. Title implies this is new, which detracts from the point you’re trying to make.

    Just a refresher in case the populace forgets after the company’s gaslighting.

    Here I was hoping for a new leak to rub it in people’s faces. Oh well, to keep waiting.

    It wasn’t a discord data breach. It was a third party. It’s like saying “social security numbers leaked in government data breach” but it was in fact the Equifax data breach of a different third party company that never should have been sent the information in the first place, but was required to due to a law.
