[Brazilian Government Sues Discord for $97 Million, Alleging Failure to Adequately Protect Minors]
Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on August 27, according to Reuters, the Brazilian government has filed a lawsuit against Discord in federal court, demanding collective moral damages of 500 million reais (approximately $97 million) for allegedly failing to comply with child and adolescent protection laws. The lawsuit also calls for Discord to improve age verification, parental supervision, content moderation, and safety mechanisms, or face a daily fine of 500,000 reais. Previously, Brazil's data protection agency had suspended Discord's live streaming feature over concerns about minors' safety. Discord responded by calling the lawsuit "disproportionate" and stated that it has proposed technical adjustments and funding plans to improve local safety compliance.
