Discord says piracy subpoena would violate users’ First Amendment rights (www.theverge.com)

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?

Encrypt it end to end with them not having the keys

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

Why?

Why is channel history needed for new users?

Back in the IRC days you joined a channel that was just empty, if you wanted the history you had to run an IRC client continously, I remember running screen irssi on a separate computer and sshing into the server, reconnecting the screen with irssi in it.

If you want the history automatically, you can't expect privacy.
