What is Discord? Messaging platform popular with gamers part of Charlie Kirk assassination investigation

Discord has over 200 million monthly users and is a messaging platform popular in the gaming community but serves a variety of interests. It operates on a system of invite-only "servers" for communication. Tyler Robinson, accused of murdering Charlie Kirk, allegedly discussed details of the crime on Discord, including logistics about a rifle. A spokesperson for Discord stated they found no evidence of Robinson promoting violence on their platform, and the messages about the weapon were likely on a different service. Discord has faced criticism for harboring extreme rhetoric and has been implicated in past violent incidents. The platform prohibits hate speech and requires users to be at least 13 years old.
