Oh sick! So if this goes through, precedent is set that anyone who can come up with a reason greater than “my video game leaked”, can legally broker collect harvest request data from select discord servers that can directly tie the real identity of an individual to their windows device id.
I can’t see that being abused at all.
Maybe Discord will build them some premium level corpo only API endpoints so this can be automated ✨ /s
Discord is trash, but they have no legal reason to comply with this request unless they just want to.
