Bottom line: Discord must immediately suspend its Go Live feature to prevent similar incidents.
What's happening: Brazilian National Institute of Telecommunications (ITSA) officials stated that the Go Live feature allowed a 13-year-old girl to livestream a suicidal video, which was viewed by approximately 100 people. The incident occurred on February 25, 2023. A Brazilian prosecutor said that the girl's livestream was not available on the platform's recommended content filters.
What to do: Security leaders should monitor their organizations' use of livestreaming features to ensure they are not inadvertently enabling similar incidents. They should also review their incident response plans to include preparedness for similar events.
