The state of New Jersey has filed a lawsuit against Discord, alleging that the chat platform employs deceptive practices that jeopardize children's safety by allowing easy access to inappropriate content. The lawsuit criticizes Discord's insufficient age verification methods and highlights the lax filtering of messages, which permits children to receive harmful content. This legal action, representing the first state challenge against Discord, follows a trend of increased scrutiny on gaming platforms regarding child protection. Despite ongoing efforts to enhance safety through new features, the lawsuit emphasizes a gap in current protections for young users.
The New Jersey lawsuit claims Discord uses deceptive practices that allow children to access inappropriate content and does not adequately verify users' ages.
According to the lawsuit, Discord allows any user, including children, to easily bypass age restrictions by simply stating they are 13 years old.
