This is how modern propaganda works.

maybe it is modern propaganda, maybe the author is just incompetent moron trying to get as much clicks as possible 😔

Discord servers are restricted ring-fenced sections of the internet. They are often used by gaming groups and communities as secure chat rooms but are also used by fringe organisations to push their ideologies and discuss wild conspiracy theories and plots.

Might Discord be, potentially, in some way related to the notorious hacker known as 4chan 🤣

Yeah, they should lock them both, just to be on the safe side.

Who ever wrote that have superficial understanding of how these services operate...

They should not be writing on the topic if they don't properly researched the topic.

They at best an idiot, but likely just a useful idiot for the people in charge.

Where is the editorial quality?

that's little bit too harsh. the authors of the article write general news, they do not specialize in technology, and it is pretty clear none of them is gamer (i suspect that telegraph correspondent to united states doesn't have much free time to waste on gaming 😂).

so while that paragraph is stupid to the degree where it is bordering on funny, i am not looking for malicious intent behind it.
