The effects of the ban are likely to hit the front lines in Ukraine as well, where both Kyiv and Moscow’s troops have been seen using Discord to coordinate drone operations.
Several videos posted online have shown uniformed men watching surveillance drone feeds on the platform, including one clip said to have captured the interior of a command post in Bakhmut.
Discord surely does, as surely does the government of the land which hosts their infrastructure.
If Discord hasn’t been asked/told to block Russia from their side, there is a reason.
I take a far grimmer look on things. If text and image platforms have issues moderating, I’d imagine discord is more difficult and thus worse. They probably monitor for stuff that is detrimental to their service and that’s it. For the rest they rely on reports.
And about being asked to keep up by governments, I again am inclined to not think anyone did. Why would they.
