Description

The chat app Discord announced today that it raised $100 million from venture capitalists at a $3.5 billion valuation. It’s an indication of how far Discord has come and how successful its rehabilitation has been after it was used as an organizing tool for white nationalists in Charlottesville. Now it might provide a model for other social media platforms struggling with content moderation. Dan is joined by Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron.
