Discord reportedly bans users in Russia amid government pressure

Discord, a popular voice and text chat app, has reportedly banned users in Russia. The move comes amid increasing pressure from the Russian government on tech companies to comply with its censorship demands.

According to a report by The Verge, Discord began banning Russian users on March 5th. The bans appear to be based on IP addresses, and users in Russia are unable to access the service even if they use a VPN.

Discord has not officially confirmed the ban, but the company did release a statement saying that it is "committed to protecting the safety and privacy of our users." Discord also said that it is "aware of the current situation in Russia" and is "taking steps to ensure that our users are able to continue to use our service safely and securely."

Discord's ban on Russian users is likely to have a significant impact on the country's tech scene

Discord is a popular platform for gamers, activists, and other communities in Russia. The ban will make it difficult for these communities to communicate and organize.

The ban is also likely to have a negative impact on Russia's economy. Discord is a key platform for many small businesses and entrepreneurs in Russia. The ban will make it difficult for these businesses to reach their customers.

Discord's ban on Russian users is a worrying sign of the increasing pressure that the Russian government is putting on tech companies. The ban is a reminder that the Russian government is willing to use its power to censor dissent and control the flow of information.
