I am jack’s complete lack of surprise
*gasp*

This was kind of breach so predictable even surprisedpikachu.txt isn’t enough, but it must be done.

Lol I thought they were supposed to delete the ID images once confirmed
“Haha, and you believed us” -Discord
But the ai training lol
Update photos set deleted=1 where id=553468863
So they kept the images illegally, hm?
Official statement from Discord: “Oopse woopse we did a fucky wucky. Sue us hahaha you won’t”
No, that can’t be right. Forced use of photo ID for age verification couldn’t possibly lead to leakage of said IDs. The purity police assured us!
think of the children!!! :< :< :< :< :<
I know right! Now we got their IDs too! :D
/s
Coincidentally an alarming lot of people that impose pure bullshit on us seems to think of the children a tad too much.
I knew this was gonna happen
And you didn’t tell Discord??
I am surprised it took this long. Probably happening since day one and just now getting reported.
Even if it wasn’t, they would sold your data to someone anyways, MEta being obivous
Candidly, I did not expect it so soon.
I was thinking that, you’d think they’d strike once the pot is a little larger.
I am honestly surprised it took this long for a company to get hacked(surprised it was discord though).
They’re not the first. The first one happened in the same week the digital safety act was put in place
Sigh
I really wish there was a good competitor to Discord. I have not found one that has the same screen sharing feature. Revolt (now Stoat) gets close but lacks the screen sharing - something me and my friends use a lot. They are adding this soon so hopefully it is good
that has the same screen sharing feature
Uhm, yeah, it’s a chat app, not a screen-sharing app.
I don’t know why people keep saying this. You either pay for a service, or you get a company extracting as much data as they can from you for advertiser or VC money. Servers and bandwidth cost money
Telegram is profitable through semi-pushing some cryptocurrency and selling premium. Various free-to-play games are profitable through the sale of optional content.
There are alternatives in offering delayed or optional monetary costs.
Matrix, XMPP, GNU-Jami & SimpleX
None of those come close to the features Discord has.
Now more than ever people will have to choose between privacy and comfort. And not to be a dick, but now more than ever, people choosing comfort are fucking over people who choose privacy.
I know that person he is me.
Revolt (Stoat?) is alright, but good luck getting people to join there lol, Discord is the only thing people are willing to join
Matrix or Jitsi with Lemmy or any popular forum software would be my suggestion. More secure and private but require some technical knowledge.
Matrix is an absolutely pale imitation of Discord.
Yes it is very upsetting that the most popular chat platform in the Western world is in league with Sauron, but Matrix as a replacement is a glorified ICQ client that regularly yells at you that your device is untrusted now and there’s no hope of fixing it, you loser.
Yeah Matrix is horrible, I don’t think it will ever catch on
I used Element and it was also an overcomplicated and cluttered UI. They should’ve just straight copied Discord like ReVolt/Stoat did
Do people really have to scan an ID to us Discord?
When I use the linux or web client it asks for a selfie with my ID card when I try to enter a server.
Works fine on Android.
Contacted support, they say my account is not flagged as underage but I have to submit the photo anyway. I told them i won’t.
No. According to an article the IDs were from people who were challenging an age determination. Still bullshit, but you don’t need ID to use Discord as a general rule.
The unauthorized party also accessed a “small number” of images of government IDs from “users who had appealed an age determination.”
Small is, of course, a relative term. I would consider a small number to be 2 or 3. They may feel that 10,000 users is a small number. Who can say?
as a very minimum, it would make sense to demand safe-deleting the photo immediately after the verification process, with fucking prison time to someone if it is found they did not comply with that.
but that is clearly not the direction the society is going 🤷♂️
You are absolutely right. This is a huge violation of user privacy on Discord‘s side which of course is as outrageous as it was to be expected from Discord. Like, Discord is the first company I would suspect to not care about any of this. They probably think lower of consumers than video game companies do.
Apparently if they get flagged as underage when they aren’t.
Yet another example of how requiring ID is a shit idea.
It’s used by some Discord communities to prevent spam/bots. This would be inconjunction with other measures like how some communities require a verified email or to have a phone number associated with your account.
While those exist, those wouldn’t have been affected by this breach (or if they were it was only incidentally) - those communities are not using Discord’s age verification but are doing it through DMs (or a 3rd party service). Discord communities do not have access to age or ID verification tools, nor do they have the ability to impose restrictions based off age or ID verification (yet, there is rumored to be an age-verification access restriction beta going out, but it apparently doesnt use ID)
Called it.
And the “Tea” app leak happened right before these age-verification rules started popping up everywhere. It’s obvious cause and effect, but it was also demonstrated RIGHT before.
Don’t put your hand on a hot stove, especially after watching someone burn their hand on that hot stove.
More people need to use matrix and xmpp instead!
