May I ask what the context of your message was? Presumably one of the people on that server reported you, and in the messages you posted, people seem taken aback (eg "did you just..."). I'm curious what the context was and why they took the impression it was unusual? What were these ASNs in relation to?

This piece seems to be missing for some unknown reason. What is the purpose of posting ASN and ISP physical addresses?

ISP physical addresses were not posted, only the ASN was. Look at the original post.

22773 ASN-CXA-ALL-CCI-22773-RDC, US

5432 PROXIMUS-ISP-AS, BE

577 BACOM, CA

This is the layout of what was posted. These are not even addresses.

It was to show that we had a lot of users in Asia, yet none of them were using our servers in Asia.

I find it kind of crazy that people here are doing all these mental gymnastics to justify Discord's behavior.

ISPs are not considered personal information. There is no reasonable way to de-anonymize it when there are thousands to millions of customers per ISP.
