Discord is a third-party provider for the UK government like ID.me, which you already have encountered asking for a video selfie at your DMV and other government services website. That video selfie is a high resolution scan of your most personal data, your own face. Soon you will submit to if you want your tax refund, if Trump gets his way in his push for Real ID. You could be under a microscope 24/7 to some of the baddest actors in the world. #StopRealID
