    If an AI company pays Discord they won’t scrape but get the data directly.

    But they Index everything. Just request your data and you’ll get a neat package of all your messages with timestamps and all.

      They store your data, they don’t correlate your data.

        So what? You can still sell it to AI companies without assigning an user to each message. They don’t care about who wrote it when stealing the content.
