      Nothing says “casual chat app” like uploading your passport to join a server

    9. jesusonoro on

      same company that was just caught selling chat data to AI companies now wants your government ID for safety. the pipeline from chat logs to facial recognition is getting shorter every quarter.

      yeah, fuck thus. I’ve had discord for years but after this, there is no way in hell putting discord back. I’m uninstalling it from every machine I got

      Push back as hard as we can and get them to change their minds on this privacy violation. All it takes is one corporation folding, and that opens the flood gate for other campaigns against online privacy violation.

      Downloaded it again so I could properly delete my account (ps why wouldn’t they let me delete it via browser?)

      What’s the best discord alternative? Something that allows me to host a personal server, stream, and share files to the same extent.

      This part:

      >And listen, I know people harp on this a lot, but it’s a company literally named after an orb that lets the most evil force in the world spy on your thoughts.

      If that’s not enough for you to be unsettled by Thiel’s money being involved in Discord’s age verification rollout, the billionaire—who infamously wrote „I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible“ in 2009—appeared more than 2,200 times in the latest release of the Epstein files, where he coordinated years of meetings with the convicted child predator and sex trafficker.

      Discord really ruined their reputation lately

      They probably regret not taking that multi billion dollar deal from Microsoft a few years back

      Not that Microsoft is a good company but if this becomes the turning point of discord dying and a new platform becoming popular, that’s going to be a good laugh

      From the article “The company has informed some users in the UK they may be part of „an experiment“ with Persona, an age verification vendor whose investors include Peter Thiel, co-founder of ICE’s premier surveillance provider, Palantir.”

      So just inferring here. But seems like it’s only being made public because of UK laws of how companies handle user data. Meaning, I assume this is already happening for US based users, and other countries that don’t require disclosure of malicious data handling practices.

      Peter Thiel spoke about how his biggest fear was not being rich anymore. Not that he might lose someone he loves or that he isn’t going to make a positive impact on the world.
      His biggest fear is lack of money because he wants power.
      That’s who you’re dealing with. Fuck him.

      r/discordapp is banning anyone that brings up the fact that the new CEO is Israeli btw

    25. Old-Information3311 on

      There is a lot of support for banning social media for under 18s on reddit. But this is where its headed. Soon any websites that allows you to comment, post, or upload content will be tied to your identity. And ai companies will use that data for mass cambridge analytica style political manipulation, and creating adatabases of everyone that expresses opinions they don’t like. Palantir is already helping ice creating lists of potential immigrants. Soon they will have lists of potential communists and potential subversives.

      Honest opinion, don’t verify and just delete the app instead,

      It’s not worth the trouble.

    29. finqer on

      Peter Theil – co founder of Palantir. Also in bed with Israel/Mossad, Jd vance and Epstein.

      The first time Discord asks me to take a selfie or provide a photo ID will be approximately 10 seconds before I uninstall it.

      TIL: Panopticon effect—symbolizes internalized surveillance and power—it is now applied to modern, ubiquitous digital tracking.

      First they came for the loli lovers, and you did nothing

      Then they came for the hentai lovers, and you did nothing

      Then they came for the „illegals,“ and you did nothing

      Now they come for you – welcome to the surveillance state.

      NONE of this has been to prevent crimes

      NONE of this was done to protect children

      NONE of this has made our lives safer

      We are not watched with scruitiny by an administration that loves to lash out at political opponents, make up crimes, and flagrantly ignore the law.

      When Bam Bondi was tasked with testifying to Congress she brought a burn book – a cheat sheet of insults – because that is the priority of this administration when testifying about ignoring a blatant and wide spread child sex trafficking ring full of pedos.
