Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) ordered Discord to suspend livestreaming, video calls, and screen sharing nationwide in mid-August 2026 after a 13-year-old girl died by suicide during a coerced live stream on July 22. The agency cited inadequate child-safety measures under the Digital ECA statute and gave the company three business days to comply. Discord met the deadline on August 17, disabling video features while keeping text, voice channels, and servers operational, and stated it is actively negotiating with regulators to restore functionality. First Lady Janja da Silva had publicly demanded a full block, but no nationwide service ban has occurred; users have turned to VPNs amid the restrictions. The outcome hinges on whether Discord can demonstrate sufficient protections to lift the targeted measures before any escalation to broader enforcement.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if use of Discord is banned within Brazil through a nationwide, legally effective government or court order and such ban is publicly confirmed between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
A legally-effective nationwide court order requiring either the temporary suspension of Discord’s activities in Brazil or a prohibition on Discord operating in Brazil will qualify as a ban for the purposes of this market, regardless of whether technical implementation of the order has been completed.
An order that is stayed, suspended, or overturned before taking legal effect will not qualify. If a qualifying order takes legal effect, a subsequent stay, suspension, or reversal will not affect the market's resolution.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Brazilian government, courts and Discord, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
