Not to worry if you used Discord for spreading racism or Nazi propaganda. Law enforcement are racist and filled to the rim with Nazi wannabes.

You know, I would pay a lot of money for social media that would contract with users to never ever sell the user data. Just saying.
It will never happen because they’re all too short sighted and are too greedy but they would do well.

Such bait. Article even starts with “…might be…” then goes on to talk about an unaffiliated group scraping 10,000 (out of 32 million) public servers.

That’s terrible!

Before it was monetized & trademarked, ‘discord’, noun, meant:
*Lack of agreement among persons, disharmony, conflict.*
Given all the AI, logarithms, bots and ne’er-do-wells, it’s a term that can be often applied to a lot of the social media.

This is how you can tell reddit users don’t read the article. In the first two paragraphs it mentions that bots scroll public channels for info. You know, like the exact same thing they do to every other public forum. Oh well, guess I can’t post my SSN in reddit comments any more.

So, just to like all my other data!?! I’m shocked!! /s

I guess they’ll know I comment about sports and my frustration about sports on my sports channels

What discord data?

And your Reddit
ailish on
Well they know from my reddit usage how much I hate the Trump administration, so there’s nothing on discord they don’t already know. 🤷
Tulpah on
well, you gotta give to benefit. Sell my data? Fine, I’ll allow it.
Make me go through Identification Verification bs with my handsome Nurgle face and passport? Hell no!
Tsakax on
Yet somehow they miss the 100s of mass shooters that seem to always be linked to some discord server.

Nothing is going to change without regulation

This is what happens when Greed and ruthless Ambition are the Gods of a society. There is never enough, and no line that they won’t cross to get it.

There’s bots joining servers to scrappe all messages and content for AI purpose, that’s not necessarily discord’s doing.
PoutineCurator on
Anyway, since my friend and I started using Teamspeak, we will not go back. It’s completely free, our server is hosted at home and we have much more control over everything.. old guys like us will probably never change back to something else.
Would be more surprised if there was a company that did NOT sell every bit of data they collect about you.

Did some people read the article?
rglazner on
If you think that there is any single company that collects data that is not misusing your data, you are naive. They don’t collect your data to use it internally. They may also use your data internally, but that is not the reason they collect your data.
TemperateStone on
They targeted 10,000 servers. That’s a fart in the ocean, isn’t it? And clearly didn’t have access to anything else than what’s in the servers.
_Piratical_ on
The headline should be:
“_*All of your data is being sold to Law Enforcement, AI and any company that is willing to pay for it.*_”
It’s just so much more accurate. You have absolutely no assumption of privacy when all of your data crosses platforms and wires and systems owned by companies whose income is dependent on that data being extracted for profit. You never had and you never will

90 percent of Redditors are not reading articles here. This is rage bait
