I hear you. I’m not discounting that these could happen. But how likely is it for my usage? Or most people’s usage? My kid is on discord and it’s monitored and we use it for gaming. That is what I am led to believe most use it for.
I guess my point is I don’t see a scenario for suing Discord itself. They are just the vessel I use to communicate with. I use it constantly. I just don’t care. There has never been a time I give out enough information to worry about it.
If there are other scenarios, sure. But it sounds like more of a liability clause for companies that join Discord than individuals.
This is basically the same as saying “I’m not concerned about government back doors or encryption being banned since I’m not doing anything wrong, so it doesn’t affect me”.
No it’s not. The government is a completely different entity than a company. It’s structure is different and it’s motivation is different. How it implements everything is completely different. If a company says “you can only take us to arbitration” and all I am using it for is to communicate anonymously to other gamers it is not the same as someone knowing everything and going through all my shit.
It’s like a company saying you can’t sue if you use a can opener with a pop top cap. It doesn’t apply to me. I also don’t see how it applies to their user base.
But I know no one has given me any scenario that actual users have encountered when Discord was being sued and it turned the tide. I’ll just you guys disagree with me.
A scenario is pretty simple: They don’t hire enough security personnel to safeguard your data. They get hacked. There is very little damages you could get in arbitration for losing that data, so nothing happens. You cannot form a class to actually make something happen.
“I don’t see how this right is, personally, of use to me in this moment, so why should I care about it?”
The same failed logic that brought us stuff such as “I have nothing to hide, why should I care about privacy?” and “If you’ve done nothing wrong, You have nothing to fear”

What data? The fake email I made up with a made up name to play a game they don’t know much about? I don’t understand how this applies.
