Russia & Turkey Block Discord Over Content Violations
In the last 24 hours the governments of Russia and Turkey have effectively banned the Discord social media platform. Both countries cited the failure of the US-based messaging app to clean up illegal content.
Roskomnadzor, Russia’s censorship body, specifically said Discord is blocked for "violation of laws" and that the company had already been warned been times, which included a previous fine for failure to conform.
Compliance is required to "prevent the use of the messenger for terrorist and extremist services, recruitment of citizens to commit them, for drug sales, and in connection with unlawful information posting," an official statement said.
