Data mining? Selling info? Weak security? I’ve seen Discord mentioned a lot but know nothing about it. Gracias!

It’s easy to think they’re reading your messages, because they don’t use E2E (only calls use it). They admit that right in the link you sent. They also keep scanning your computer for running processes with no way to disable it (for game detection). tl;dr is if you care about privacy, do not use Discord, or at least not for anything more serious than sending memes.
