New Jersey’s Attorney General has sued Discord, alleging the app used “deceptive and unconscionable practices” that misled parents and failed to protect children from sexual and violent content. The complaint says Discord’s safety settings were ineffective, exposing young users to online predators, explicit content, and unsafe interactions — despite the platform’s claims of being a safe space. Discord denies wrongdoing and says it has continued to improve safety features. [people.com]
