Imagine people wanting to discuss their sex life or fetishes without having to worry what their boss or neighbour would think of it.
@admin
Imagine having private conversations in private.
This data was apparently scraped from public channels.
It's not public data though. You need to agree to the ToS before you can get to it. Which clearly states that you cannot use it without permission.
But you're moving goal posts here, so I think I'll just ignore you from now on.
I mean, my first reply to OP literally said the same thing, but sure, it's me moving the goal posts.
And I'm not talking about private as in "who owns and has 'rights' to the data" because "discord is s private company with TOS" (which offers zero protection, since scrapers don't care about TOS, even when the scraper is a major company - See StabilityAI, Google, et al).
I'm taking private as in "not any random person can log in and see it". Private discord servers and DMs don't appear to be included. That's the "private" I'm taking about.
