Discord has recently announced that it may require biometric identification beginning March 1, 2026.

"... all new and existing users worldwide will have a teen-appropriate
experience by default, with updated communication settings, restricted
access to age-gated spaces, and content filtering that preserves the
privacy and meaningful connections that define Discord.

Beginning with a phased global rollout to new and existing users in
early March, users may be required to engage in an age-verification
process to change certain settings or access sensitive content. This
includes age-restricted channels, servers, or commands and select
message requests."

Although we agree that protecting children is important, this move by Discord is inconsistent with the mission and goals of Cicada 3301.

We have made the collective decision to cease all operations of the Cicada 3301 Discord server on March 1, 2026.

If you would like to contact us, we are available via our direct email address: [email protected]

If you wish to remain in contact with individuals associated with our movement, we encourage you to make alternative arrangements.

Thank you for your support and understanding.
