Why shouldn't young children be able to use Discord? I have kids and want them to be able to use it to chat while they play games with friends and with me.

I'll try to keep them to only chatting with people they know until I think they're mature enough.

I have kids too. I'm not singling out Discord here, just pointing out they're trying to follow the law.

Young kids and social media are inherently a bad mix. Primarily because it promotes antisocial behaviors and they cannot effectively comprehend and consent to the privacy polices and TOS. Hence why adults need to be involved in account creation.
