Brazil Orders Discord to Suspend Livestreaming Nationwide Over Child Safety Failures

Brazil's data protection authority (ANPD) on 12 August 2026 ordered Discord to suspend its 'Go Live' livestreaming feature across Brazil within three business days, citing "robust evidence" the platform failed to protect minors from content promoting violence, self-harm, and suicide. The suspension follows a 13-year-old girl's death by suicide during a 45-minute livestream. The feature stays offline until Discord proves adequate safeguards exist.
