Funny thing is, EULA agreements like this have already been shot down in so many cases, it's dumb at this point to try and pull this off. They're just trying to test if anyone will actually pull the trigger on a class action.

Groundwork for "the next step", which is expecting zero privacy, and all your messages are sold. Mark me.

But even so they costs the companies involved millions, they wouldn't want to be dragged through one

Yeah, not sure why folks care

I can sue discord and there's nothing their EULA can do to stop me.

God bless our right to litigate*
