Because once you sign this TOS nothing's stopping them from doing the most obnoxious and illegal business practices to you and you'll be fucked. Like getting you into a lifetime contract of nitro or whatever, you really can't trust a for profit company with this stuff
"I dont need rights, because i anyways dont exercise them"
Good on you, but what about the rest of us? Ever think that this law is not tailored to you?
Wow, how very nice of you to say /s
Good question, but: Why would Discord ever expect to be in a lawsuit or arbitration with you? Most people, like you, use it to chat with people they barely know and give them no money. Still discord think it is necessary to take away legal rights from all their users.
@[email protected] already mentioned one. And it does not really matter what the can do specifically to you. It matters what they can do and that you have no control. If you want to know what people can do with just your username look at this project: https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock. Now imagine what someone with more data can do.
Serious question if you know you don't engage with discord deeply why do you think anyone here should care about your pointless question?
You just made that up.
