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?

Discord still sells your information for advertising so it's meaningless posturing.

Not meaningless but certainly undercuts the grandstanding.

Yes, the authorities will have to pay for data like everyone else.

And that's job creation right there!

Thanks to Discord, I'm able to keep merchants that "connect overbearing authoritarian entities with the data they shouldn't have, at a price point we all can agree on" at stable, sub-full time employment status.

Truly, pillar of the economy, er community.
