"Widevine Dump":Leaked Code Downloads HD Video from Disney+, Amazon, and Netflix

Why do so many people doing illegal/shady shit online use Discord? You might as well be using Facebook at the point.

Before Discord they were using IRC which was printing your IP address (or reverse DNS) when joining a channel.

At least with IRC you can use a VPN and self host a server.

Discord can, and is highly incentivized to, identify and track you across the internet.

Idk if they do this, but it shouldn’t be that hard in this day and age to build a profile on users based on messages and activity. That can be cross referenced with other sources of data to identify you, especially if it’s done manually by like an FBI agent or whatever.

They use Discord for illegal stuff because they already use it for tons of other things. Sure it's a bad idea, but they don't care (and with all honesty, Discord support doesn't seem to either).

IIRC quite a few botnets used to use public IRC channels as C2 servers (also a pretty bad idea).

They're also authoritarian and poisonously woke.

The IRC networks I used did not block VM's and rented servers from proxying my connection or using an IRC client from a tmux/screen session. Back then I could use visa gift cards to rent machines. That is harder to do now.

Discord in most cases will prevent people from doing this. Most people should be ready to click all the crosswalks, buses, traffic lights forever in a loop.

Discord - a lack of agreement or harmony

Synonyms for discord

conflict, disaccord, discordance, discordancy, disharmony, dissension (also dissention), dissent, dissidence, dissonance, disunion, disunity, division, friction, infighting, inharmony, schism, strife, variance, war, warfare

Seems pretty fitting? :)

There is a lot of illegal activity being organized on Facebook too. Especially in non-English. In the short term and at scale, that is as good as encryption.
