Not only do they keep your friend information on their servers, they maintain a copy of every single message you've ever sent via Discord. Their service is the antithesis of private communications.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoCan you request deletion of these? I've never really thought about that before (I don't use discord that much anyway other than hoping on some channels occasionally to help beginners to rust and c++. I guess I'm not giving away too much there :)
- charcircuit 5y agoYes, you can.
- dylan604 5y agoAre you really going to request that deletion after every single sensitive conversation? That seems dumb. Also, are those deletions tracked? Like, do they say User A requested their conversation with User B and User C be deleted so that Mr Fed can still see that A B and C had that conversation? There's just so so many places to get tripped up by keeping data rather than just routing bits and never storing them.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoI was thinking more like "Hey discord, please delete all my old data from your databases, everything" not doing it after every "sensitive" conversation.
- charcircuit 5y ago>Are you really going to request that deletion after every single sensitive conversation? Just delete them manually then.
- vel0city 5y agoUpdate Discord.messages Set Deleted=True Where messageID='71d01110-e3d8-4673-9ba0-7bc676c5b6e6' Deleted!
- vel0city 5y agoAlso, every thing you've ever attached in a message (even 1 on 1 messages) have publicly accessible URLs. There is no such thing as privacy on Discord.
