Discord has announced that all voice and video calls on its platform are now protected by default with end-to-end encryption, after completing the rollout in March. The new protection uses the DAVE protocol across supported platforms, while stage channels remain unencrypted and Discord has no plans to extend encryption to text chats. #Discord #DAVE #TrailofBits #Mozilla
