Overview
- Discord is beginning a weeklong rollout of new Family Center tools that increase oversight for parents and guardians of teen accounts.
- Guardians can now see a seven-day summary of top five contacts and servers, total voice and video call minutes, and recent purchases.
- New guardian-managed settings let parents restrict who can direct message a teen and apply sensitive-content filters, alongside added data privacy controls.
- Teens can choose to notify a guardian when they file a report, message content remains private, and both accounts must be linked for Family Center to work.
- The company situates these changes in a broader safety roadmap that includes age assurance in the UK, experiments in Australia, and further measures planned for early next year, as lawsuits and regulators scrutinize teen safety on the platform.
