Hey, so apparently Discord decided to quietly update their TOS with a clause that says you must forfeit your right to sue them or take part in a class-action lawsuit.
There's a way to "opt out" if you do so within the next 30 days by emailing [email protected] and giving them your account's nick#number.
This will only affect people in the US, as us Europeans luckily have Article 77 of the GDPR (“Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority”).
Without the ability to congregate for a class action lawsuit, if Discord ever leaks your data or does something catastrophically bad to a large portion of the population you have no way to representatively sue together without each of you individually suing via the arbitrator.
