Discord Ordered to Suspend Livestreams in Brazil The suspension of Discord's livestreaming feature in Brazil serves as a stark reminder that social media platforms can fall short in protecting their users, particularly minors.
The Brazilian data protection authority (ANPD) investigated a tragic incident involving a 13 year old girl who allegedly took her own life during a Discord livestream.
The investigation found that Discord lacks real time access to livestream content, making it difficult for automated systems to detect problematic content.
