This is corporate cover speak for “we keep all data”

Yeaaah, nope.

GDPR is no joke and storing people’s actual ID card photos is a gigantic liability. Companies treat that stuff like it’s toxic waste, they want to get rid of it as fast as possible and permanently.

  • So Discord only just survived financially because of heavy fines imposed from their earlier breach of trust? All their C-suite were fined commensurate with their remunerations+wealth?

  • Maybe that's generally true but you're saying that about a company that has leaked 70,000 IDs that were supposed to not exist just last October.

  • How come they didn’t do that the first time? There’s really no guarantee this time will be different or that the 3rd party is any better.

  • We’re talking about Discord. The same people who put everyone’s “server” as a chat room on WebRTC.

    They don’t share your same sense of toxicity.
