<h3>Discord doesn't give a shit about your privacy</h3>
<p>
Discord forbids third-party clients, bans people for no reason and doesn't explain why, shares everything with governments, and sells off all your data to the highest bidder. It has <b>no encryption at all</b>, not even badly implemented end-to-end encryption like WhatsApp. Everything about the app and servers are closed source and proprietary.

<b>It collects a very large amount of data about you</b>, including your IP address, all your messages including "private" ones, all your voice chat data, and even information about other apps on your system if you use the desktop client. Discord's privacy policy contains multiple occurrences of phrases such as "including but not limited to," which explicitly confirms that <b>Discord's privacy situation is even worse than we currently know.</b>
