Brazil sues Discord over alleged failures to protect children

Brazil has filed a lawsuit against Discord over allegations that the chat platform failed to adequately protect children using its service.

The case is the latest step by Brazilian authorities to press large technology platforms over online child safety. The legal action focuses on Discord’s responsibilities toward younger users, according to a report published on August 27, 2026.

The filing opens a legal process in which the allegations and the platform’s response can be tested. The source report did not establish a final judicial finding against Discord.
