巴西国家数据保护局（ANPD）于8月12日下令Discord在3个工作日内暂停该国的直播功能[1]。此举源于一起严重的未成年人保护事件：一名13岁女孩在Discord直播中遭在线群组鼓励进行自残行为，最终在约45分钟的直播中自杀身亡[1]。根据调查，该群组故意针对情感脆弱的未成年人，先后鼓励这名女孩参与暴力"挑战"，进而诱导其进行直播自杀[1]。
ANPD表示，如果Discord无法证明已采取有效的保护措施，直播功能将继续保持暂停状态[1]。该平台有10个工作日的时间可提出上诉[1]。违反禁令的企业将面临最高5000万巴西里亚尔（约970万美元、840万欧元）的罚款[1]。
案件涉及5名青少年和1名成人已被拘留[1]。调查过程中，执法部门还救出了另一名准备在直播中自杀的女孩[1]。案件中一名涉案人员通过平台的自声明系统注册年龄为148岁[1]。对此，巴西第一夫人Janja da Silva呼吁对Discord实施完全封禁[1]。
Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) ordered Discord to suspend livestreaming functionality in the country within three business days following a tragic incident involving a 13-year-old girl [1]. The teenager was encouraged to engage in self-harm and ultimately took her own life during a livestream, prompting the regulatory action [1].
The investigation revealed that an online group deliberately targeted emotionally vulnerable minors, encouraging the girl to participate in violent "challenges" before ultimately manipulating her into broadcasting her suicide [1]. During approximately 45 minutes of livestreaming, she faced persistent encouragement toward self-harm and suicide [1]. Five teenagers and one adult have been detained in connection with the case, while investigators also rescued another girl who was preparing to end her life on the platform [1]. One suspect registered on the platform through a self-declaration system claiming to be 148 years old [1].
The ANPD's order stipulates that Discord's livestreaming function will remain suspended unless the company can demonstrate the implementation of effective protective measures for minors [1]. The platform has ten business days to appeal the decision [1]. Failure to comply could result in fines reaching as high as 50 million Brazilian reals, equivalent to approximately 9.7 million U.S. dollars or 8.4 million euros [1]. Brazil's First Lady Janja da Silva has called for Discord to be completely banned from the country [1].
