DISCORD BANNED?! Then UNBANNED? Is This REALLY About Child Safety?

The Philippine government suddenly moved against Reddit and Discord, demanding that the platforms establish a stronger presence in the Philippines and cooperate more closely with authorities. Then Discord was actually blocked. And just hours later… THE BAN WAS LIFTED. So what the hell happened? The government says the issue is online child safety, including concerns about grooming, child exploitation, radicalization, and violent extremist content. Officials also wanted faster cooperation and direct channels between the platforms and Philippine authorities.
