At Discord, safety is a top priority. It is a fundamental aspect of how we build our products and policies to ensure our platform continues to be the best place to talk, hang out, and have fun with friends.
We take a holistic approach to safety – in addition to dedicating more than 15 percent of all Discord employees to safety full time, we work closely with industry-leading organizations, community moderators, and key partners to keep our platform safe. As part of this effort, our Safety Reporting Network features a global partnership of trusted organizations who collaborate directly with Discord’s Safety team.
To further safeguard our users, the Safety Reporting Network allows us to collaborate with various organizations around the world to identify and report violations of our Community Guidelines. This program helps our team apply a more global perspective to our enforcement activity, providing context for important cultural nuances that allows us to quickly and effectively apply our policies to content and activity across our service.
Members of Discord’s Safety Reporting Network have access to a prioritized reporting channel, and, once our Safety team is made aware of a policy violation, we may take a range of actions, including: removing content, banning users, shutting down servers, and when appropriate, engaging with the proper authorities.
Our Safety Reporting Network is just one component of our overall commitment to safety. We continually invest in technological advancements, like our recently launched Teen Safety Assist and Family Center tools; regularly update our policies; continually invest in building our team; and more. As we continue to improve and evolve our safety efforts, you can visit our Safety Center to learn more about this ongoing work.
