Instant-messaging platform Discord is now reversing course after it banned the popular group WallStreetBets on Wednesday, claiming the server allowed “hateful and discriminatory content.”
Discord said they had made the move after “repeated warnings,” saying it had nothing to do with the GameStop trading debacle that has been generating headlines over the past few days. At the time, Discord said it was also “monitoring this situation and in the event there are allegations of illegal activities, we will cooperate with authorities as appropriate.”
