    getting a bunch of minors to take selfies of themselves to upload to a server somewhere while training an ai model will definitely have no problems…

      Thing is Discord will have no problems getting them to do it. By the time any legal proceedings against it work their way through the legal system, the damage will long since have been done. Discord will have made the money from the data they collected, the AI models will be done, and the need for more pictures will be non-existent.

    I mean I’m usually not the skeptic when it comes to privacy rights, but it’s hard for me to defend against an action like this. Because I don’t see a purpose of needing that information outside of the intent to sell to third party

    Yikes, we gotta get on improving Element and Matrix as a replacer ASAP. My apologies for shillery, I don’t normally hock FOSS alternatives in the comments but I view this sort of offense by Discord as a militant action level of threat.

    Matrix takes Donations LINK

    Element offers product packages for developers/hosts LINK

    There are also other services aside from Element with similar functionality so check those out too.

    EDIT: Also Matrix is on Github LINK

      I’m sure you won’t need this in your average server.

      Are you joining dating servers full of teenagers and questionable activity?

        “Questionable activity” is an easily abused term for power-tripping assholes. Especially with right-wing politics becoming so prevalent world-wide, it’s easy (for example) to imagine a scenario where a group of LGBTQ+ types are targeted for harassment - being forced to choose between losing their safe haven or outing themselves & putting themselves at risk of far worse.

        I don’t join any servers. It’s a voice replacement for ventrilo, which I would consider using if I can get a music bot tos tresm music to everyone in the channel.

    Guys, calm down, it doesn’t use YOUR face at all. Just a photo. Easy to bypass, and think of the fun we can have.
