The Impact of Discord Leaks on US Security.

Discord, a chat platform initially created for gamers, has become a fundamental piece of the internet's social infrastructure with over 150 million active monthly users. Recently, the platform has come under scrutiny due to its role in the circulation of classified Pentagon documents. Discord has become a hub for a wide variety of communities, including gaming, cryptocurrency, and LGBTQ advocacy groups. While the leak of documents intersected with Discord's gaming community, the platform has been used by individuals involved in hate crimes and mass shootings. The Biden administration is considering expanding how it monitors social media and chatrooms in response to the leak.
