Funny thing is, EULA agreements like this have already been shot down in so many cases, it’s dumb at this point to try and pull this off. They’re just trying to test if anyone will actually pull the trigger on a class action.
Yeah, not sure why folks care
I can sue discord and there’s nothing their EULA can do to stop me.
God bless our right to litigate*

Really appreciate you guys over there keeping up the pressure on corporations to act ethically/ accordingly.
Here’s hoping some of that splash back happens over here.
High five for unalienable rights
Came to say this. Here in the AU you cannot exclude certain things, this being one of them. They can write it all they like into the TOS, but cannot be enforced. There are many examples, but basically no TOS/Warranty/T&C can exclude or explicitly deny any rights you have or laws that protect you.
Similar to warranty here. Many companies like to put “limited liability” and 30 day warranty. But in AU, the warranty has to fall within our laws. (for example Samsung saying warranty on a $5000 TV is 2 years. Well in AU if the tv is that expensive, you have the right to claim warranty on manufacturing failure for at least 5 years.) Many items we buy here, have an “Australia only warranty amendment page” stuffed in the box!
Shows how much been biased countrywise the posts are. And internet in general.
Companies can do that in US? Sounds like a loophole…
There are many, we’re just oblivious because it doesn’t affect us in our day to day lives. I’m sure there are loopholes in the EU as well.

Sure, yeah.
Just opt out of discord. It’s a lot easier.
OK, but my raid leader is going to have to shout a lot louder than that if I’m going to hear him from the Netherlands.

Yeah, market share is a bitch.
Everyone calm down. They’re just going to use it for training AI and if you love tech you love AI. So this is a non-issue.
The trained AI will make their public offering so much more desirable
unmarked sarcasm whooshes even the mighty users of Lemmy, apparently
tbf it was sarcasm so dry it might even trick a British person! xD
It was so on the nose and wet that my dog could relate.
lol no shit right
it splashed when it hit
learn to fuckin read, guys
You clearly have not dealt with stupid people in your lifetime then
Honestly, I think I have a serious problem with giving people the benefit of the doubt too much.
Thats a mood tbh

The key presses ‘/’ and ‘s’ (in that order) would solve that problem.
learning to fucking read would solve it better
Name checks out.
Go ahead, give Discord your address
It already has anyway. Ive requested my discord data once and everytime you do anything in discord it explicitly saves and stores the location of where you were when you interacted with discord.

Straight to victim blaming?

Curious as to if you saw your phone number in that data?
I ask, because of this.
I no longer have the data on my machine so i cant verify anymore unless i request my data again. However, i remember a discord server im in, enabled that accounts in the server needed to be phone number verified if they wanted to chat. This was done to combat spammers and trolls. i told them to bugger off because im not giving discord my phone number. So its possible my phone number was not in there, but knowing discord it could have been
So we are caring about privacy but that polygon site is a massive scrapper
It’s a massive scrapper?
Like it engages in scrappy flights? I guess that’s one way to frame fighting with discord but I’d personally see them as fairly comparable weight classes.
Or did you mean scraper like vacuuming up data* off of everyone who visits?
I attempted to email opt-out@discord.com per the ToS and got a bounceback.
The article says arbitration-opt-out@discord.com
Ah, thanks!
I don’t see how this matters to the common user. Why am I going to disagree with Discord enough to sue them. What services do they provide other than a way to communicate for gamers?
Are companies involved? Yes. But I’m not a company and I don’t really care if they have a hard time dealing with it. They replaced Teamspeak and I will use it as a platform to communicate. If that changes I might change my stance, but I don’t see any other need for it.
