It's being claimed that whoever breached Discord now has access to 1.5TB of user data, with more than two million photos.

    So, I looked at age verification - it was made clear photos were on device only and never transmitted.

    If this turns out to be false, then the legal fallout would be apocalyptic.

      you agree to legal mediation other than a court in their terms of service, so… not really

        Those don’t always hold up, especially when the shit is really hitting the fan.

          “dont always… when it hits the fan” is a little too elusive compared to a legal document you agreed to online imho so i will not necessarily hold to that

      Here’s the information directly from the FAQ as of right now:

      Q: Is my data stored when I use Face Scan or Scan ID verification?

      A: Discord and k-ID do not permanently store personal identity documents or your video selfies. The image of your identity document and the ID face match selfie are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed, and the video selfie used for facial age estimation never leaves your device.

        That sounds like the video stays on your device but the photos do not.

        Yeah, but those methods of verification weren’t the subject of this breach, this was some manual bullshit done through Zendesk.

      Where is that small print? It should be archived before Discord tries to change it.
