Discord defends itself against efforts to stop piracy on its platform by saying no to more invasive data collection. Even though Discord isn’t exactly known for privacy, this is a great move for its users. What are your thoughts?

      They do have to retrieve old messages when new users join though. I’m sure the government can force them to lett them in a server and unlock the roles

        Keep the data but encrypted. Let users send links that contain the pki info to decrypt the messages. Have that pki info generated client side.

        Discord would only need to shuffle data, provide authentication, and provide the web app data down to the client. But every bit of user shared and generated content would be encrypted to them.
