Discord's move to encrypt all calls by default removes a significant revenue and content-moderation lever—the company can no longer access call data even when requested by law enforcement or for safety investigations. This shifts the liability and operational burden onto users and third parties while positioning Discord as a privacy-first platform in direct competition with Signal and other E2EE services. It also complicates Discord's ability to moderate harassment, CSAM, and other harms that often occur within calls rather than in text channels.
