Discord Bans Pro-Trump Server From Its Platform
Mashable reports:We're all judged by the company we keep. With that adage seemingly in mind, Discord moved Friday to ban a pro-Donald Trump server from its platform. TheDonald, as the server was titled, allowed likeminded individuals to digitally gather and was directly linked to the recently banned r/DonaldTrump subreddit and a separate discussion forum... "While there is no evidence of that server being used to organize the Jan 6 riots, Discord decided to ban the server called TheDonald yesterday due to its overt connection to an online forum used to incite violence, plan an armed insurrection in the United States, and spread harmful misinformation related to 2020 U.S. election fraud," a Discord spokesperson confirmed over email. Mashable even notes one comment they'd spotted about shooting politicians. And the forum's reaction to Discord's ban included "calling Discord 'pedos' and saying 'these CEOs need to be dragged out into the street.'"Read more of this story at Slashdot.
