If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.
You must log in or register to comment.
Just in case anyone reading this gets the impression that direct messages sent on Discord are private from Discord itself, they aren’t. If you were to send your face to a mod, or send anything to anyone there, then Discord would have it, too.
To be fair to Discord, it has to work that way. They serve the files to you anywhere in the world on any device you use, don’t they? That requires hosting the content.
But it could very well be used for other purposes, too, of course.
No, it doesn’t have to work that way, as we can see by the existence of messaging platforms with end-to-end encryption.
I suspect the person to whom I replied understands this, but their comment could have been misinterpreted as implying that Discord messages are private, so I wanted to clarify.
