Discord banned a mass of accounts that were part of a service that scraped and sold user data, including messages posted across servers and what voice channels they joined, 404 Media has learned. The move comes after 404 Media reported on the service, called Spy Pet, last week and verified it was selling access to genuine user messages ripped from Discord servers.

Since then, and especially over the last several days, the number of servers that Spy Pet says it collects data from has fluctuated, dropping from around 14,000 to 12,000, before eventually on Thursday reaching zero. As of Friday, the Spy Pet website is also unavailable, and Discord says it is considering legal action against the site.

    So the answer is nothing. You would do nothing.

    So what’s the point of the “fucking link”?

      And what’s the point of your comment, apart for trying to spark a controversy out of nowhere?

      I’m not going to repeat myself all over again. I’ve already stated elsewhere in this conversation what I would do.

      Stop being so angry, it’s just a link.

      And look, I made it even smaller, just for you…

        Point me to where in this five comment long conversation you stated what you would do.

        You should take your own advice kiddo, seems to me the only one angry here is you.
