Discord handing over user data to Take Two so they can hunt down the GTA 6 leaker


Update: They’re not just hunting the leaker. Take-Two got court approval to pull personal info (emails, phone numbers, IPs, device IDs) from ~100k Discord users across multiple servers... including DarkViperAU’s 90k-member server. Most of those people are complete bystanders who had nothing to do with the leaks. A multi-billion dollar company turning Discord into a mass surveillance tool the second their IP gets threatened. And remember… once they have that personal data, there’s no real guarantee they can even protect it. These big companies get breached regularly. When (not if) it happens again, your info is just sitting there waiting to be leaked. Greed + power = this exact playbook.
