MODERATORS
Discord was banned in Turkey because of some kids were doing illegal shit like CCs and finding people's addresses, getting them swatted etc. Of course, the government couldn't control what's been going on until things escalate to a level of kids forming up mobs.
Turkey's egov system e-devlet suffered multiple data breaches in the last couple of years, that's one of the things that gave this internet mob kids the power to actually wreck people's lives.
Another day in middle east.
I don't want to be in Middle East.
