The policy changes come after an NBC News investigation last month into child safety on the platform.
SAN FRANCISCO — Discord's head of trust and safety said Tuesday that the popular chat platform was changing and clarifying its child safety policies, including those around teen dating and AI-generated child sexual abuse material, an announcement that comes after an
NBC News investigation last month into child safety on the platform
John Redgrave, Discord's vice president of trust and safety, said Discord was expanding its policies to address generative artificial intelligencethat can create fake contentand the sexualization of children, specifically banning AI depictions of child sexual abuse and even the sexualization of children in text chats.
The Washington Post reported last month that AI-generated child sex images have proliferated across the internet in recent months.
The company said in a
blog post announcing the changes that the updated child sexual abuse material policy would include “any text or media content that sexualizes children, including drawn, photorealistic, and AI-generated photorealistic child sexual abuse material. The goal of this update is to ensure that the sexualization of children in any context is not normalized by bad actors.”
