Discord Bug Wrongly Bans 8,000 Users Over Innocent Images
A moderation bug in Discord's automated safety system incorrectly flagged harmless images, leading to over 8,000 wrongful bans. The company acknowledged the issue and said it has since fixed the bug. Affected users are being reinstated, though Discord did not detail how it will prevent similar errors.
