Discord defends itself against efforts to stop piracy on its platform by saying no to more invasive data collection. Even though Discord isn’t exactly known for privacy, this is a great move for its users. What are your thoughts?

    If the the pki is generated by users client side by a secret discord doesn’t control it wouldn’t be an issue.

      Either you share the message history to new users (which includes feds) or you don’t have any history. I don’t understand what you mean

        The server provides the data to authenticated users and helps facilitate pki between the clients.

        If someone is added by the server to have access to the data but wasn’t given a key capable of decryption by an actual user they wouldn’t have actual access, just encrypted data.
