The state of New Jersey has filed suit against Discord claiming the company engaged in “deceptive and unconscionable business practices” that put children at risk.
Discord is accused of not doing enough to keep its youngest users safe from predators and violent content.
Discord's existing protections for children are considered inadequate or easily circumvented, as the app does not verify the claimed age of users.
Discord spokesperson disputes the claims in the lawsuit and highlights the continuous efforts to make the platform safer.
