"Haha, and you believed us" -Discord

But the ai training lol

FTA: The IDs leaked were from people appealing age verification.

That's different from the age verification process, which goes through a third party provider.

In short, the leaked IDs were from a standard shitty support platform (Zendesk, Salesforce, etc), not the much-advertised "safe and private" age verification system.

Very first question in FAQ:

Q: Does Discord or k-ID keep my selfie data?

A: Discord only logs the k-ID age verification results used to unlock your account—it doesn’t save your selfie image. For questions about k-ID’s processes, please contact k-ID.

So they are going to blame someone else.

Candidly, I did not expect it so soon.

And you didn't tell Discord??

Even if it wasn't, they would sold your data to someone anyways, MEta being obivous

I am surprised it took this long. Probably happening since day one and just now getting reported.

And the "Tea" app leak happened right before these age-verification rules started popping up everywhere. It's obvious cause and effect, but it was also demonstrated RIGHT before.

Don't put your hand on a hot stove, especially after watching someone burn their hand on that hot stove.

Back in the day when our community was switching from xmpp to discord, our solution was to write a bot on either end that relayed messages from one to the other. The xmpp bot got more and more naggy over time until eventually we put the xmpp side in read-only for everyone except the relay bot. It did a good enough job at building momentum to switch that the final holdouts came over when we went r/o.

You might consider building something similar if you want to make a genuine effort to switch to matrix or IRC. A relay bot solves the problem of the first people being punished by virtue of being first.

Now more than ever people will have to choose between privacy and comfort. And not to be a dick, but now more than ever, people choosing comfort are fucking over people who choose privacy.

Matrix or Jitsi with Lemmy or any popular forum software would be my suggestion. More secure and private but require some technical knowledge.

Revolt (Stoat?) is alright, but good luck getting people to join there lol, Discord is the only thing people are willing to join

So, Discord - by forcing your acceptance of their tos which renders them immune from damages done by "third parties*

By offloading a term of service that Discord requires you to provide.

If they force you to give the info, they are responsible for handling and storing it properly, no matter what some evil lawyer or exec says.

If laws make bad things legal because rich people can use words, then there needs to be some form of redress to return the spirit of the laws to the people.

Maybe we all make usernames with a legally binding personal ToS that is deemed agreed upon by the corporation accepting the username.

This is just a shell game and they are conmen.

This was kind of breach so predictable even surprisedpikachu.txt isn't enough, but it must be done.
