    To be fair to Discord, it has to work that way. They serve the files to you anywhere in the world on any device you use, don’t they? That requires hosting the content.

    But it could very well be used for other purposes, too, of course.

      No, it doesn’t have to work that way, as we can see by the existence of messaging platforms with end-to-end encryption.

      I suspect the person to whom I replied understands this, but their comment could have been misinterpreted as implying that Discord messages are private, so I wanted to clarify.
