Isn't exif data something you should strip out?
- indiandennis 9y agoDiscord makes most of their revenue from selling user data so they probably want to keep as much as possible.
- RussianCow 9y agoDo you have a source? That's a pretty bold claim, and I haven't seen anything else to back that up.
- hintss 9y agopretty sure they've directly stated that they're not selling user data
- gruez 9y agoto be fair, you could say the same of facebook/google. they're not selling the data (giving it to third parties), but they're making money off it.
- Operyl 9y agoSure, they serve said data to other authorized users and clients (intended recipients). Name a business that doesn’t do that. ;)
- gruez 9y agopoint is, their statement does not preclude them from using data for marketing purposes. some people are content with that, but others take it as a sign that they are (or will) use the data to build dossiers on users.
