Ok torn on this. Against censorship 100% by governments. Also against using CSAM as an excuse. But discord IS rank with abuse like that, and they aren't really doing much to curtail it
To be honest, a block like that only affects normal users. Criminals or people who really want access will not have any difficulty finding a way to access discord.
I think it is a tactic to get discord to follow the rules, not to actually limit harm.
