Just to be clear, I 100% think they are selling our data. What I meant was I'm surprised they're concerned about the size of the uploads when they could just be selling the uploaded data.

For the record, they still claim that they do not sell user information nor data.

Giving it to China for free isn't selling. Its just called "investor relations"

I simply don't trust any company that provides a "free" service and is owned by Tencent, who has a 35% stake in Discord.

Neither do I, which is why I would love evidence to confirm my suspicions, so I can show it to others.

But I also try not to make claims that are merely suspicious, however likely.
