Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Re: Discord Drama! Adult Content Channel Requiring Real ID?

[(Anonymous)]

I've had jobs take photocopies of my ID and by jobs I mean, like, people I'm pet sitting for, not big companies. I mean, these people are giving me a key to their house, it makes sense. This server is giving people access to an adult space with things minors shouldn't be exposed to. Idk, maybe we just have different perspectives but it makes sense to me.

You're not getting a key to anyone's house here. Hotels also take ID photocopies in the US, for similar reasons, but they keep them in a safe. Chances are you're trusting someone you're working for to also keep the ID secure. Admittedly I wouldn't be comfortable with that either, but that is a matter of personal preferences.

I don't believe it's reasonable to place the same trust in someone on the internet on a less than secure platform, and especially not for them to have a Discord channel where they accept IDs. There are so many more ways for a huge range of people to access information on the internet than there are to see a specific photocopy in real life.

There isn't a channel for the IDs though, you have to DM a mod and then immediately delete the photo once it's done. Where's this whole channel for IDs rumor coming from?

That's worse, though.

Deleting a photo from any service or the internet does not get rid of it. Uploading anything anywhere will leave traces. If it goes on the internet, it is never gone; there will always be a trail of breadcrumbs leading right back to you, and you can never do anything about it unless the servers are factory formatted or physically destroyed. Since Discord also uses Amazon Web Services (which gets fucked over every week, nowadays), you'd have to wipe AWS, too, and you can bet your sweet ass Bezos and his bozos aren't gonna do that for you, for Discord, or even God itself.

Also, if one of those mods gets their account taken over whether by a mistake of their own or Discord's, and someone sends them their ID? That mod you wrongfully trusted with your ID isn't that mod anymore; it's some rando on the internet who could completely use it for whatever fun purposes, like *scraping for metadata which often contains geolocation information!* If good ol' John McAfee got caught in Guatemala because of a photograph's metadata, you're not fucking immune.

I keep saying it; their heart is in the right place because kids should not be accessing these things, but they do not have the security or the money to be asking anyone for their IDs.
