Brazil orders Discord to suspend livestreaming after teen suicide
Brazilian authorities have ordered Discord to suspend its livestreaming feature (Go Live) while they investigate whether the platform failed to adequately protect children from harmful content, following the death of a 13-year-old girl who was encouraged to self-harm during a livestream. Five teenagers have been arrested in connection with the case, and a broader investigation is underway regarding Discord's age-verification systems and content moderation practices. This action follows previous restrictions in Russia and Turkey due to concerns about illegal content and extremist activity.
