    Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.

    Define “quickly” and why is it not always immediately after confirmation?

      quickly as in never and then leaked because they secured it with the digital equivelent of a wet paper bag left outside.

      And this is why generic EULAs should be heavily regulated, and allowed to be negotiated like any other contract. Allow me to pencil in a “you’ll allow me to uniquely watermark the scan of my ID so it can be traced back to this specific request, and agree to pay me $500M if that scan is ever included in a data breach or sold to additional third-party vendors” clause.

      Oh, Discord doesn’t want to agree to that? Gee, if the company is deleting everything immediately and there’s no risk of a leak/intentional sale, what’s the harm in including it? How’s the saying go? Something about “if you have nothing to hide”?

        Unironically the solution here. We need a bit of a negotiation option. Some entity, I don’t know, the EU or other larger regulatory bodies need to force that one down their throat

    “last year” doesn’t really do it justice They had tons of data breaches last year, the really bad one was after some places forced people to upload their IDs

    KYC is a trap.

    Always was, always will be.

    If you think “I have nothing to hide because I’m not a criminal”, I urge you to reconsider before history repeats itself and proves you wrong.

    One good use for AI would be to generate IDs real enough to pass these checks & stock invasive databases with slop

        Really? Generating real-looking faces has been doable for years now. MS paint copy/paste over an actual ID with the letters/numbers scrambled seems like child’s play.

        (Not that I would ever publicly condone ID fraud. That would be a terrible thing)

        edit: oh. To do it en mass to fuck up their databases. Yeah that’s fair. For a one-off: easily doable. At scale… Fair point

    I’m so certain you will delete the id immediately after I send it that, after carefully considering it, I deemed it a waste of time: if you are deleting my ID immediately, the time spent on sending it is better used on something more useful, like taking a dump.

      Not sure what you mean, hackers hanging out is a good health indicator for an online space, and discord definitely wasn’t a platform of choice.

      Unless you mean scammers, which isn’t even remotely the same thing.
