Discord explicitly confirms in its privacy policy (discordapp.com/privacy) that it collects the following information: > · IP Address > · Device UUID > · User's e-mail address > · All text messages > · All images > · All VOIP data (voice chat) > · Open rates for e-mail sent by Discord
Discord does not explictly confirm that it collects this information, but still collects it: > · All programs that are running on your computer spyware.neocities.org/articles/discord.html
Als of these are necessary for their software to work? >IP Address You connect to their server. Woop dee doo. >Device UUID Common use of any installed software more so if accounts are involved. >User's e-mail address You register an account you dumb fuck. >All text messages How do they display messages written while you were gone? Store them you dumb nigger. >All images See above you faggot. >All VOIP data You transfer them through their servers. >Open rates for e-mail sent by Discord Common practice in the industry. Disable HTML and stopp being a dumb sheep. >All programs that are running on your computer They provide a game overlay you fucking retard. How do they detect if a game is running without checking it against a list?
Back to Jow Forums with you.
Nicholas Johnson
you're such a faggot it's insane.
Leo Brown
There's a difference between using and keeping that data for as long as it is absolutely necessary, compared to hoarding it (and likely selling in the future).
Juan Jones
I mean hes right you know. Discord is still botnet.
Jace Roberts
Tell me, who in their right mind would install anything other then open-sourced or Visual Studio 2008 from original disc.. etc if you were doing something bad (malware, scamming, selling/buying drugs etc) while checking the checksums and scanning every install file on VT/Intezer and manually RE the file if it looks really suspicious even if everything else checks out.
I couldn't care less what the fuck I install on my "play" machine.
Why would you care if some process takes info about what exes you have running on your system?
And what has to be wrong with you to actually go and post online about it?
NPCs don't really generate data outside of their usual programming desu
Carter Phillips
hi marketeer, how much was that post? asking for a foe
Xavier Hughes
So? I've got nothing to hide. I'll just keep using discord like the rest of the world.

Jaxon Watson
In other words, the OP is new to the Internet and doesn't apparently understand (at least so far) that there is no such thing as true anonymity, true privacy, or true security anywhere online anymore and that's been the case since about 1991 and even prior to that with POTS-based connectivity.
Get the fuck out, n00b.

Blake Butler
They've said this from the start. Why did you install it if you weren't comfortable with this? Sounds like you're just beginning to learn more about how the tech world operates so I'm guessing you're a zoomer
Jason Reyes
>make chat software >need to remember previous text messages to display them to users on said chat software, as anyone would expect their chat software to do >store them server-side like every chat software has done for decades >also store data to identify who said what messages so your users can know who sent what in chat, as all barely functional chat software does >wannabe tech-savvy neets think that's spyware
storing VOIP data after the servers are done with it is spooky if true though ngl
>make GAMING communication software >GAMERS typically have Windows, Steam, and Chrome already installed
Why would a GAMER give a shit about whether Discord saves the logs? GAMERS use their computers for GAMES. Not for retarded hobbies like programming or system administration.
Samuel Edwards
Discord has a “hype squad“, so users shilling it literally get presents.
Aiden Hill
Literally all of this stuff could just as easily be sent peer-to-peer, but they store it on their servers? There's literally no excuse for that
Liam Turner
By your logic all mail carriers and post offices should be allowed to collect, make copies of, and look at all your mail.
Gabriel King
>peer to peer >with NAT just about everywhere Never mind the privacy implications of giving every person you chat with your address, you'd never even manage to establish most connections in the first place. A better option would be the server holding encrypted data, chat history included, that only the sender and recipient can decrypt.
Robert Clark
How much are you getting paid to post this every day?

You tinfoil tards are stupid. This is literally a nothing burger

sauce: I've investigated this issue in length and asked Discord my data package, they didn't send any recordings. They also collect a lot more stuff than that.
Hudson Taylor
Just deleted my account and emailed them to delete my shit from their servers. They said they retain the account for 14 days and after 14 days account recovery is not possible. But that doesn't mean they will purge the data related with that account. So you have to manually ask them to delete your data according to GDPR law. They have promised to follow GDPR regardless of your region. So if something leaks from their side then they can be sued for infinite amount of money. just because they didn't give you your data doesn't mean that they don't have it.
Carson Williams

Audio data also takes a shitton of space.

and this is why you run inside a sandbox like firejail.

Eli White
just kill discord before you run something that sketch brainlet
Owen Lopez
Are you a brainlet? Do you think using firejail protects you from being spied on? The only benefit of firejail here is that Discord will only get a chroot process list. THATS IT. YOURE STILL BEING SPIED ON, ANALYZED, PROFILED AND SOLD LIKE A PIECE OF MEAT
I noticed that staff on some boards once deleted discord links, but since the 4channel split, they are not deleting them.
Remember WarnerMedia is now in bed with Discord.
Logan Hughes
I havent planned anything illegal on discord, why should I care ?

freesoft alternative when?

There are plenty already, but you gotta host it.

Actual conversation I just had with a brainlet.
Logan Wright
and they do - that is coming from someone who worked for one. That doesn't mean humans, but also robots. How did you think spamassassin works you fucking retard. Of course it analyzes the contents of your email and that means not only the headers but also the whole content body.
How do I convince my friends to stop using this garbage?

They didn't do the former, trust me on that
David Parker
Made a GDPR request and my file was 7mb. When you upload images they are sent as a discord link, so it's obvious they save that given that it's on their website. However if you handle imahe uploads through your own site like I do and prune it every so often, all they have is dead links - images you send as links don't get saved. They didn't even have my past avatars. I was underwhelmed in all honesty. There was definitely zero voice chat
Chase Martin
I clicked that link in the OP and it's ridiculous
"It is impossible to download and examine Discord's source code, which means that it is impossible to prove that Discord is not spyware. Any program which does not make its source code available is potential spyware."
That's like saying "You can't prove there isn't a god, so there potentially is one"
