Your data is worth about $5-$10 a month, at least for Facebook. A month.
Discord is one of the worst company in term of privacy, they sell all of your datas, messages... First to make profit and then send it to the Chinese government. Thx to offer to me 10MB 😁
They want people datas as much as US wants them to do mass surveillance. Surveillance is power and all govs wants power
You should know that in this world most of the governments want to extand their "power" (in fact it's the good world), by knowing all the stuffs that are happening in the world they gain some superior knowledge. Why do states are willing to do mass surveillance, to use security cameras, etc... It's not to have more "citizens" but to gain more power
No no no, mass surveillance or global surveillance means a surveillance at the world scale meaning that all the people from everywhere would be watched. They just want to gain datas about everyone, to one day maybe use it. Cover leaks, cover several things... For sure today you will not be under the control of a foreign gov but tomorrow if they need to they could track you to achieve their goals.
With the case of Discord, you probably should know that in China the big companies are really related to the Chinese gov. Take the case of Tencent and search online for share owned by the gov. That's all. Datas trough Discord are not safe at all.
