Russia has officially banned the popular chat platform Discord, which has been used by its military for secure communications. This move adds Discord to a growing list of blocked platforms, including Facebook and X, amidst the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. The country's internet regulator cited the app's hosting of extremist content, including child sexual abuse material, as the reason for the ban. Following Russia, Turkey also blocked Discord after it refused to share user data. Discord acknowledged the reports of accessibility issues in both countries and is currently investigating.
