Brazil Forces Discord to Pause Go Live in Wake of Teen Tragedy
TL;DR Summary
Brazil’s data protection authority (ANPD) ordered Discord to suspend its Go Live livestreams after a 13-year-old was allegedly pressured to end her life in a private server. Discord says it’s reviewing the order and cooperating with investigators, while the ANPD cited lack of real-time access to streams and warned of fines up to 50 million reais per violation. The suspension remains in place until Discord implements safeguards for minors, potentially including age verification, and the company has three days to comply with an appeal window.
