Discord says piracy subpoena would violate users’ First Amendment rights (www.theverge.com)

Discord defends itself against efforts to stop piracy on its platform by saying no to more invasive data collection. Even though Discord isn’t exactly known for privacy, this is a great move for its users. What are your thoughts?

Because now you're using discord for more things? You're giving them more data? What's not to like

Doubt that they are scrapping the data themselves at this point in time. They care more about the user count as their major revenue seems focused on selling nitro and whatever shit they are putting up in their shop. Not in anyway saying that it is secure obviously and they might choose to sell data like reddit but gotta sick with the more plausible scenarios.

Well who knows, they do offer AI summaries now so they're at least using the data for something,who says they won't use it for other things in the future

Didn't know that was a thing but I am on a Linux fork so haven't seen that yet.

They've only enabled it on a few servers but you can force enable it via vencord plugins
