Discord chats may be crucial to lawsuits over neo-Nazi violence
https://www.engadget.com/2017/08/26/discord-chats-may-help-charlottesville-lawsuits/
Discord was quick to shut down neo-Nazi servers and accounts
in the wake of racist violence in Charlottesville, but that
doesn't mean those conversations are gone forever. In fact,
they may be instrumental to making criminal cases and lawsuits
stick. The media collective Unicorn Riot has obtained leaked
Discord chat screenshots (about 1,000 of them) and audio
suggesting that many of the white supremacists were gearing up
for a fight even as their organizers were supposedly calling
for non-violence. In the days after the Charlottesville march,
they also made light of the car attack that murdered Heather
Heyer and injured many others.
