あなたのプライバシー設定では、このコンテンツをご利用できません。こちらで設定を変更してください"Discord" has grown rapidly as a voice chat tool for gamers, but the demand has expanded further due to the increase in time at home due to the corona evil.In December 2020, the number of active users reached 140 million per month.Given that it was 100 million in June of the same year, it increased by 40 million in just six months.
However, as the number of users increased, troubles, unauthorized use, malicious accounts and violent accounts increased.According to the report, a total of 355,633 user reports have been sent in the latter half of 2020 for "Trust & Safety", which users report problems.This number increased by 50 % compared to the first half.
The most reported was harassment, followed by cyber crimes, NSFW (not Safe for Work, inappropriate image, so -called adult images, etc.).
This time, Discord has established a new category of "CSAM (content related to child sexual abuse)", "radical or violent content" and "content that is concerned about self -harm".These are said to be "the highest priority" that harms users, although there are few reports in the entire report.
"Trust & Safety" takes measures according to the level of the problem with such problems, but the heaviest treatment is "deleting account".Discord says, "It may be deleted if you have a group that violates the community guidelines individually or a group that is extremely violated by the platform rules."It was said that it was done.
Spam accounts were most common in deleted accounts, and as mentioned above, the number is more than 3 million.Except for spam accounts, "Exploitative Content", such as child gender content, also listed in "high -priority content".The number is about 130,000 accounts, far exceeding about 30,000 of "harassment", which has been deleted next.
In addition to accounts, the server that handled problematic content was also stopped.According to the report, in late 2020, 27,410 servers that violated the rules were deleted.Looking at the breakdown of the deleted server, the most common is the "cyber crime", followed by "exploit content."It is said that the server that was stopped this time also had a server on the conspiracy theory of the conspiracy, which is advocated by extremist groups and the far -right group.Discord commented that Discord does not have a group where these extreme thoughts are.
The other day, Discord is also attracting attention in the industry, as it emerged to the acquisition story by Microsoft.As the content grows, the more malicious users increase, and the more problems, the more problems.It is noteworthy what Discord will respond in the future.
