Caracterização e avaliação do controle de acesso dos servidores do Discord para o público infantil e adolescente

Abstract

Discord is a tool that is already present in people's daily lives as a support for various tasks. Since they are not excluded from the digital context, children and adolescents also end up using the platform. This work provides a characterization of public Discord servers identified through keyword searches related to the child and adolescent public. The servers are organized into channels of different types that can shape the way users interact. Additionally, the servers were categorized into those explicitly targeting children and adolescents and those explicitly intended for adults. Access controls were evaluated using personas. The results indicate that, despite the platform's moderation efforts, they are still not effective in ensuring the safety of children and adolescents.
