We told you this would happen. We told you this would be the result of “age verification”. As usual, you fucking didn’t listen.
I hope Discord is sued into receivership over this.

Discord isn’t the one that got hacked and leaked the info, it’s whatever 3rd party they used.

Discord vetted and chose that vendor. They are liable, and as a corporate person, their corporate charter should be revoked until it has served 70,000 sentences of accessory to identity theft.
Unless we are a nation of cowards and weaklings of course. So who are we?

💯, absolutely agree. 3rd party or not it’s completely irrelevant. That personal info is out in the wild and that is the point.

Who the hell cares?
