Discord is eager to sell your data and they are not even responsible for the data breaching if you don't do this to opt out within 30 days.

Discord have their Terms of Service changed to revoke the user's right to sue them for selling customer's data. Without the ability to gather for a class action lawsuit, if Discord decided to leak your data to any third parties for whatever purpose. Your stance in seeking justice for such wrong-doing is weak if not almost impossible as an average user.

But you have 30 days to opt-out from the disgusting arbitration clause

Read the great post with detail inside on this post:

Basically, you just need to send an email to [email protected] with sufficient identity information in order to make a clear opt-out from silently agreeing to sell own data away. The email template suggesting in the post should be perfect for this case:

To whom it may concern,

Please be advised that I do not consent to the Arbitration Section of the updated Discord Terms of Service, and I also do not waive my right to resolve disputes on behalf of, or as part of, a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. I recognize that Discord will not be bound by the provisions of the Arbitration Section. My username is username, and the email address associated with my account is [email protected]. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Your IRL Name
Your Username (with #)
Your Discord ID
Email Associated With Account
(Optional) Phone Number Associated With Account

Think twice if you are about to share sensitive data in Discord

Apparently, Discord is one of the brightest stars in crypto space and it seems like every project must have a Discord channel else to follow the industry standard. While it is not designed for privacy chatting purpose, such an obvious intention to sell user's data away raises a big red flag to continue to rely most of my average communication on the channels.

Sent the opt-out email, grab some popcorn, and keeping an eye on how long does it take for the public to find out Discord's major data breach in the short future.

Sort:  

-- Good to know discord is like that

Act while you still can then. You are welcome.

Cool where can I buy all this useful information from discord, do they have a sister site, with information packages for sale?

Bronze package Learn what products are hot amongst discord users.

Silver package Learn what products are hot amongst various demographics on discord.

Gold package Learn the emails and usernames of all users and what products are hot amongst these users and various demographics on discord.

Platinum package: Pinpoint your political enemies, get their full name, home address, email and AI-algorithms that expose all their past indiscretions and future indiscretions too. Plus everything they ever written on discord, (even when they where drunk).

🤣😂😜😎

LOL good structure as a data package. Discord might take it as a suggestion when they decided to launch the data selling.

interesting. people should never ever share private stuff anywhere online. it's probably not just discord, but whatever you put online probably will be eventually looked at by someone 😆
