Discord can and sometimes does monitor your chats.
Source: CEO himself said that, in a hearing
Also a large portion is owned by Tencent with whom Discord is allowed to share all the data they want according to their ToS.

Well that's pretty obvious.
Probably, although why would they? More likely they'll just data mine everything an sell it on for AI learning program to nom nom on.
People use it for things like planning terrorism, child enticement, and sharing CSAM. Discord probably wants to ban those people, and maybe aid in their prosecution.
Of course if you're sharing something that's actually private, Discord is a poor choice. So is email or DMs on Lemmy where the server admin could read the content.
?
Good to know, I guess?
