    Doubt.

    “Quick deletion: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly - in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.”

      Translation: our vendors have no idea where this data goes. If they can’t find it, it’s deleted, right?

      And this is why generic EULAs should be heavily regulated, and allowed to be negotiated like any other contract. Allow me to pencil in a “you’ll allow me to uniquely watermark the scan of my ID so it can be traced back to this specific request, and agree to pay me $500M if that scan is ever included in a data breach or sold to additional third-party vendors” clause.

      Oh, Discord doesn’t want to agree to that? Gee, if the company is deleting everything immediately and there’s no risk of a leak/intentional sale, what’s the harm in including it? How’s the saying go? Something about “if you have nothing to hide”?

        Unironically the solution here. We need a bit of a negotiation option. Some entity, I don’t know, the EU or other larger regulatory bodies need to force that one down their throat

      Maybe deleted by discord immediately. Not their vendor partners though since that’s what happened last time data was leaked.

    Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.

    Define “quickly” and why is it not always immediately after confirmation?

    One good use for AI would be to generate IDs real enough to pass these checks & stock invasive databases with slop

        Really? Generating real-looking faces has been doable for years now. MS paint copy/paste over an actual ID with the letters/numbers scrambled seems like child’s play.

        (Not that I would ever publicly condone ID fraud. That would be a terrible thing)

        edit: oh. To do it en mass to fuck up their databases. Yeah that’s fair. For a one-off: easily doable. At scale… Fair point

    I’m so certain you will delete the id immediately after I send it that, after carefully considering it, I deemed it a waste of time: if you are deleting my ID immediately, the time spent on sending it is better used on something more useful, like taking a dump.

    No they don’t. They need it to definitively link your data between each of the sites you frequent.

    That and your phone number. To be fair, the phone number thing does most of the legwork.
