The online site Discord has promised a "zero-tolerance approach" to image-based sexual abuse after one of its servers was used to share explicit content of Irish women without their consent.

The server, which is similar to a group chat, was shut down and more than 500 users involved were banned by management, who confirmed to the  Irish Examiner that it will co-operate with gardaí on the matter.
