The investigation revealed Discord collects extensive user data, including:

  • Server membership and activity
  • Device and location information

Particular concern was raised about:

  • Collection of data from users under 13

  • Inadequate age-verification systems

The FTC identified multiple areas where Discord's practices put users at risk:

  • Identity-theft exposure

An NBC News investigation in June 2023[10] uncovered widespread child-safety issues on Discord, revealing systemic problems with the platform's user protection measures.

Investigators identified 35 separate cases where adults were criminally charged with "kidnapping, grooming, or sexual assault" involving contacts initiated through Discord. Additionally, 165 criminal prosecutions involving the sharing of child sexual exploitation material on the platform were documented.
