Currently, there is a massive non-consensual collecting and storing of Discord user data going on via the persons behind dis[dot]cool. Their actions are a breach of GDPR and CCPA.

After several attempts by the community to contact dis[dot]cool, Discord, and other related companies and government organizations, little to no action has been seen. Additionally, the folks at dis[dot]cool have been extremely disrespectful, childish, and reek of illegitimacy.

The data is collected and then put behind a paywall, which even the people from whom the data originated cannot access. Requests for deletion was met, literally, with a meme.

Simple question, what recommendations does the HN community have? Personally I am not a policy expert, and I think for real action to be taken, there needs to be more visibility among professionals in this field.

Thank you for reading. At this time there is not an organized effort, more of a conglomerate of people calling out dis[dot]cool on their mistreatment of end user data. Just want to see this get more visibility, as the issue is quite concerning.
