FTA: The IDs leaked were from people appealing age verification.

That's different from the age verification process, which goes through a third party provider.

In short, the leaked IDs were from a standard shitty support platform (Zendesk, Salesforce, etc), not the much-advertised "safe and private" age verification system.

Very first question in FAQ:

Q: Does Discord or k-ID keep my selfie data?

A: Discord only logs the k-ID age verification results used to unlock your account—it doesn’t save your selfie image. For questions about k-ID’s processes, please contact k-ID.

So they are going to blame someone else.
