They already support ID checks as an alternative to face scanning, if the latter proves to be untenable then it's literally a case of flipping a switch to mandate ID instead.
They can't feasibly do this in the US since many people don't have drivers licenses or passports.

And lose every user in the process
My guess is that 95% or more of all Discord users do not care and simply upload their selfie or ID card and be done with it. I know I will (although they did say that they expect 80%+ to not require verification since they can somehow infer their age from other parameters)

Don't you have to be over 18 to get a credit card in the US? How many wouldn't be able to present a CC or ID?

You require a human to identity proof in real life and bind that to a digital identity with a strong authenticator. Anti fraud detection systems can suspend or ban if evasion attempts are detected. Perfect is not the target, it doesn’t have to be. See: Login.gov (USPS offline proofing) and other national identity systems. (digital identity is a component of my work)
>You require a human to identity proof in real life and bind that to a digital identity That's going to be a no from me, dawg. I'm sympathetic to ID checks like if you're buying beer or whatever, but not linking my real life identity to discord or whatever.

Why should anyone inclined to want to buy beer have to show ID to do it?
The real and robust method will be generating artificial video input instead of the real webcam. I really don’t think any platform will be able to counter this. If they start requiring to use a phone with harder to spoof camera input, you will simply be able to put the camera in front of a high resolution screen. The cat and mouse game will not last long.
That's the endgame and what the EU really wants. No poasting unless they can arrest you for inconvenient memes.

Only to have your own card. You can be an authorized user on a credit card even if you're under 18.
