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.

@bulletbill22 the feds really care for our children... 🙄 So let's just make it harder for them to have private lives. It's for the greater good.

Here in Brazil, we have been dealing with censorship and heavy-handed regulations. In this instance, they are trying to make us believe it is for the children's own good, but it doesn't help at all. Blaming the platform is simply stupid.

Unfortunately, many parents leave their children with smartphones without any kind of restrictions. They don't offer guidance on what to avoid seeing or doing online. That is the problem.

It's worth giving it a chance
