Brazil's data protection authority (ANPD) ordered Discord to suspend its livestreaming feature after a 13‑year‑old girl died following alleged encouragement to take her own life in a broadcast, giving the platform three days to comply. The authority said Discord lacks real‑time access to livestream content, which prevents automated detection of violations. Discord serves more than 200 million monthly active users and is popular with gamers. Discord said it is reviewing the order, reaffirmed its commitment to user safety, and said it shut down the private, invite‑only server shortly after its creation and cooperated with law enforcement. Five teenagers have been arrested in connection with the girl's death. The ANPD may impose fines of up to 50 million reais ($9.67 million) per violation. Discord can appeal the decision within 10 business days. The suspension will remain in place until the company demonstrates adequate protective measures for minors, such as age verification. The case follows X's ban in Brazil in August 2024 after the platform failed to pay fines and meet a legal‑representative deadline.
