This… this is nothing. Oh no, my messages on public servers are being scraped! Good thing I haven’t said anything in a public server I didn’t fully intend on being there forever.
The Discord haters will feast on anything. Granted, this should still be shutdown as a TOS violation but acting like this is a profound intrusion on privacy? Get ahold of yourselves. This is no different from Tweets being scraped or Facebook wall posts. Don’t add the bot to servers you don’t want it on and it’s a nonissue.
If they could somehow make this data available to search engines. Maybe we can start being able to google random problems and actually find solutions again.

What kind of foolish optimist are you? Search engines are to make profit, not help you find that obscure answer to your urgent question
Search engines would have to function but yeah that would be nice.
This is assuming the bots are allowed (or, at least not prevented in coming) in by the server admin and the bot is not obfuscated some how. If the bots are taking advantage of an expolit, or not being up front, then we have trouble.
the content being scraped is from users, they do not control what bots are added to servers.
It’s much more like the Cambridge Analytics scandal in that users posted content that was shared with friends but not explicitly shared publicly, but those friends then granted a third party access to all of the data.
