A bunch of UK users are blocked from the more "free speech" (over 13) channels unless they prove their identity to Discord, to comply with the Online Safety Act.

It's channels marked NSFW that you need verification for and it's also incredibly easy to bypass with a VPN.

I know of a bunch of small servers that unmarked all their porn channels from the NSFW flag so their British members could access them freely.

This applies to all users and isn’t related to OSA (though that will probably make leaks like this more likely).
