This month, Brazil's data regulator ordered Discord to switch off live video. Discord complied under threat of a R$50 ($9.71) million fine.
Federal prosecutors have now opened an inquiry into its age verification and end-to-end encryption.
Watch the sequence:
Tragedy → emergency feature ban → R$50M fine threat → "just tell us how your encryption works"
A tragic case involving a 13-year-old is becoming the justification for weakening privacy for everyone.
