    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.

    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?

    “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

    Doubt.

    “Quick deletion: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly - in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.”

      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

      Translation: our vendors have no idea where this data goes. If they can’t find it, it’s deleted, right?

      Maybe deleted by discord immediately. Not their vendor partners though since that’s what happened last time data was leaked.
