Discord Users Are Being Tracked Through Data-Scraping Site

Internet-scraping outfit Spy.pet claims to have harvested more than four billion public messages made by nearly 620 million users on more than 14,000 Discord chat servers – and is selling access to this trove.

The website presents the data it’s collected in several ways. Each known user has a profile, which contains all known aliases, pronouns, connected accounts to other platforms such as Steam and GitHub, Discord servers joined, and public messages. If you wanted to quite literally spy on a Discord user or users, Spy.pet lets you do that, for a fee.

    I mean I rarely post sensitive images or any images online really, it was just kinda special occasion to post this in what looked like a very safe space and now I have to fill this request based on European law article 17 ‘the right to be forgotten’

      Oh yes exactly the way that regulators try to hide corporate investors behind these fig leaves like spending 5 minutes clicking switches to protect sensitive data otherwise whoops! we sold the location of a mother trying to escape stalking from her ex-husband! Whoops, we gave away all the personal information of these schoolchildren to anyone who could find it! Well, we gotta make a living somehow!
