Discord is now banned in Russia and Turkey decided to ban it too. This led to users trying to find a replacement and brought down the TeamSpeak and Revolt servers. Revolt even had to temporarily restrict registrations on the platform.
Oct 8 (Reuters) - Russia’s communications regulator has blocked instant messaging platform Discord for violating Russian law, the TASS news agency reported on Tuesday, making the San Francisco-based company the latest foreign technology platform to be restricted in Russia. Discord did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Russia has for several years ordered foreign technology platforms to remove content it regards as illegal, issuing relatively small but regular fines when it rules that companies have failed to comply. The regulator, Roskomnadzor, last week ordered Discord to delete almost 1,000 items it deemed illegal and has previously fined the company for failing to remove banned content.
Punish people for things they have no control over. You’re a smart one.
