If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.

What they consider evidence is if you say you are 12. Explicitely. It's not in their interest to ditch you out of the platform for no good reason

Methinks you have too much faith in those wielding the power to demand this. Examples abound of assholes - anyone from forum mods to police officers - abusing their power against those they look down upon. Yeah, it often comes back on them eventually, but not always, and in the meantime the lives of those they target can be made a living hell if they so choose.
