Is Discord a Spyware?

Honestly a bit too emotionally loaded for my taste.<p>However, I share the concern that Discord text messages are unencrypted, leaving a lot of sensitive information vulnerable.<p>That&#x27;s why I made discryptor.io [0], an innovative app running on top of Discord that end-to-end-encrypts all private text messages. It does this by employing a Discord bot that forwards encrypted messages. (More info on discryptor.io)<p>Client source code will be made available soon.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.discryptor.io&#x2F;launching-discryptor-beta&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.discryptor.io&#x2F;launching-discryptor-beta&#x2F;</a>

&quot;<i>Discord is spyware because it takes user data.</i>&quot; Everything nowadays takes your data. Go to google.com&#x2F;myaccount and just look at all the features, finding your device, a <i>timeline of your location</i>.<p>Also it isn&#x27;t spyware if it doesn&#x27;t use it for a malicious purpose, as the article says it is unknown whether discord sells users&#x27; data. Don&#x27;t talk about things you cannot validate for sure.

I didn’t know this perception existed about Discord.<p>We are launching our open source product, and someone from the open source community warned us because we use Discord for communication and encourage our community to join us there.<p>How popular is this perception? Where do you prefer to hang out as closed online communities?

<i>&quot;Discord is spyware because it collects all information that passes through its communication platform.&quot;</i><p>By this definition almost every website is spyware too.

I agree with many of the other commenters, that this is maybe not the perfect way to frame it. But can&#x27;t help but feel that if Discord was a Chinese company in any way, it would be a very different comment section here. People were clutching pearls the other week because TikTok sends user-agent strings out in their app&#x27;s requests!

It&#x27;s things like this that take attention away from legitimately frightening privacy issues.<p>The service you&#x27;re using has access to the stuff you send through it, yes, well done. If you thought anything different, I don&#x27;t know what to tell you.<p>If they had made some claims of respecting user privacy, then sure, bellow away, but as it is, you&#x27;re putting them in the same category as Whatsapp&#x27;s privacy statement revision. This results in people not taking _any_ of this stuff seriously. Good job.

&gt; Discord is spyware because it collects all information that passes through its communication platform<p>Yeah, you lost me at sentence one.<p>If that&#x27;s the definition of spyware, what are things that do this in the dark? e.g. I install it to make snapshots on my computer, but it also records my browsing activity in the background for no reason other than to send it back to the vendor.

It is noteworthy that this site also classifies the Brave browser&#x27;s spyware level as High.<p>Just seems a bit dramatic to me, but I might be wrong.

I don&#x27;t post here frequently, does anyone know why this post is flagged? And how that affects my account?

Wrapping legitimate concerns with emotive clickbait, marvellous.<p>Not everyone shares the RMS perspective, and those that do are particularly bad at getting the message out and explaining why people should care and why it&#x27;s worth the trade-off.

If you install it on a different machine and log in, are you going to find all your servers&#x2F;channels&#x2F;messages? Yes?<p>So it is storing all your data. Just like WhatsApp and tons of other software.<p>Use it accordingly. The responsibility is on you.

You cannot tell someone is fraud because they are keeping some secrets.

Digging around in this website, I can&#x27;t work out if it&#x27;s parody or not, which I guess is a sign of an excellently constructed parody.

&quot;Is X Spyware&quot;?<p>Depends on your definition of spyware. It&#x27;s really hard to find any network-connected application that doesn&#x27;t do some kind of analytics. If that makes it &quot;spyware&quot;, then yes.<p>Also Betteridge&#x27;s law of headlines says: No
