Discord's AI moderation wrongly banned more than 8,000 users after a bug skipped human review

Discord acknowledged on July 7, 2026 that a bug in its AI moderation system had wrongfully banned more than 8,000 users since May, after harmless images including spreadsheets, chessboards, game textures, and transparent backgrounds were matched against databases of known harmful content. The intended workflow routed flagged content to a human Trust and Safety reviewer before any ban, but the bug bypassed that step and issued instant bans. Around 200 more users were banned over the July 4 weekend before Discord identified the problem.
