Discord cut ties with its age-verification partner after exposed code fueled federal-reporting concerns, months after a breach hit 70,000 users.
Too late lol,already deleted my 10+ year old discord
nice try, but you will try to reintroduce it under another name. ALso the anti-christ thiel wont be happy.
Yeah I’m sure they had absolutely no idea before. Because Peter Thiel such a trusted and reputable name, how could they possibly known that doing business with him would be negatively construed?
Discord, the idiots who were bout to face id us?
lol
Smoke in mirrors. I’m calling bullshit. Thiel will probably get all the info and blackmail everyone later.
Smoke and mirrors mate. Hard agree though, it all goes into storage to weaponise later.
… cuts ties for the time being
I’m absolutely deleting my discord account once they update it with the age verification. The matrix protocol is a reasonable alternative https://joinmatrix.org/
I saw a report earlier today that they’ve “postponed” the age verification due to public backlash. If they DO implement it, I’m gone.
You do realize they already get all your data and such right? Discord openly admitted that when theyr pr Department went out and said; “But hey! This won’t even matter to those who’ve had an account for several years. We already have enough data on you guys to verify your age!”
That is still very different than giving them access to my facial data or government id
- Company does new “bad” thing.
- Thing gets media attention.
- Company postpones/reassures.
- Attention dies down.
- Company rolls out thing more slowly over longer period of time.
Not saying that’s what’s going to happen. Just keep that in mind and maybe use this time to explore some other options. That usually doesn’t hurt and if push comes to shove moving won’t be as painful.
Generally if possible diversifying is usually a good thing no matter what.
Too late hahahaha
Peter thiel is everything wrong with the world.
He is a plague, a cancer, a curse.
He is in the Epstein files.
He likely had his gay lover killed for revealing he was gay.
Peter thiel is the enemy of humanity.
Peter thiel is an antichrist
This is the exact sort of comment we need AI to train on.
at least it is probably already trained on the south park episodes dedicated to him in the last season
Epstein to Thiel in emails after brevity happened:
“Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain.”
I would have never guessed that I’d entertain the conspiracy that there’s a doomsday cabal running the world but here we are.
Too fucking late time to migrate.
I wish the UK government would fuck this off as well. Giving that creep the entire NHS health data backlog was a move of utter stupidity.
A nothingburger apology that follows the same patterns every company does
-
Introduce outrageous thing
-
Apologize
-
delay outrageous thing by a few months and hope people forgot about it, then do it again
Also governments.
-
What a load of shit.
“Company cuts ties with leopard after customers notice leopard”.
At this point, as a tech industry insider, you don’t partner with the likes of Thiel or Karp without fully understanding who you’re getting into bed with, or why.
Yeah, they are only cutting ties due to the attention. They’ll replace it with something just as bad, or worse.
Yeah, they’re doing the right thing here as a PR move, they may have known about the shady bullshit or they might not have but if they didn’t I bet they didn’t even ask or care in any way.
Still time to find discord alternatives, luckily the landscape of alternatives seems a bit better than I expected.
Too little too late fuck you discord.
