Discord has begun requiring some users in the United Kingdom and Australia to verify their age through a facial scan before being permitted to access sensitive content. The chat app’s new process has been described as an “experiment,” and comes in response to laws passed in those countries that place guardrails on youth access to online platforms.

If there is one certainty of social media in 2025, it’s this: rage clicks rule. Hyperbole, hate, brash deception—it’s all par for the course—and often rewarded with virality. But Sez Us, an app just launched by veteran Democratic strategist Joe Trippi, believes it’s possible to change that, by punishing users who shitpost for the sake of provocation. The timing may be just right. America is entering an age of oligarchy with a rising wave of right-wing extremism taking hold of global politics.

Harold Cohen was a pioneer in computer art, in algorithmic art, and in generative art; but as he told me one afternoon in 2010, he was first and foremost a painter. He was also an engineer whose work defined the first generation of computer-generated art. His system, AARON, is one of the longest-running, continually maintained AI systems in history. Harold Cohen was an exceptional artist, an impressive engineer, and an important bridge between those two worlds. Graduating from University of Lon

The Verge recently created a special issue on what we were doing online in 2004, highlighting how Web 2.0 was born. Take a step back and think about how we interact, transact, and spend our time online. Are we clinging to old structures that no longer serve us?
