Discord have their Terms of Service changed to revoke the user’s right to sue them for selling customer’s data. Without the ability to gather for a class action lawsuit, if Discord decided to leak your data to any third parties for whatever purpose. Your stance in seeking justice for such wrong-doing is weak if not almost impossible as an average user.

But you have 30 days to opt-out from the disgusting arbitration clause

Read the great post with detail inside on this post:

Basically, you just need to send an email to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com with sufficient identity information in order to make a clear opt-out from silently agreeing to sell own data away. The email template suggesting in the post should be perfect for this case:

To whom it may concern,

Please be advised that I do not consent to the Arbitration Section of the updated Discord Terms of Service, and I also do not waive my right to resolve disputes on behalf of, or as part of, a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. I recognize that Discord will not be bound by the provisions of the Arbitration Section. My username is username, and the email address associated with my account is email@address.com. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Your IRL Name
Your Username (with #)
Your Discord ID
Email Associated With Account
(Optional) Phone Number Associated With Account

Think twice if you are about to share sensitive data in Discord

Apparently, Discord is one of the brightest stars in crypto space and it seems like every project must have a Discord channel else to follow the industry standard. While it is not designed for privacy chatting purpose, such an obvious intention to sell user’s data away raises a big red flag to continue to rely most of my average communication on the channels.

Sent the opt-out email, grab some popcorn, and keeping an eye on how long does it take for the public to find out Discord’s major data breach in the short future.
