Interesting side note: if discord was e2e encrypted, how should they take action on anything?
If a group decides to swat a server and they can't review themselves, how should admin moderation work?
(Yes this isn't the current situation, but I'm on the toilet and it intrigued me)
Then they can't, and I think that's also the point. A tool shouldn't be snitching on its users. If the act itself is illegal, then of course the perpetrators can be prosecuted
