The issue is that it's yet another platform that could leak your data? Why would you ever want to increase that chance?

Also, I'm not sure you would need to give discord your ID unless you're sending porn in your work chat or something.

In 30 years using the internet not once have my ID has been leaked (or my CC stolen, etc). Even if it happens now, and then 2 more times during my lifetime... the benefits of the modern internet exceed the risk of that happening.

It's weird how everyone here have been giving their credit card at restaurants and show their ID at events, but DISCORD is where they draw the line, somehow.

I've only had people look, glance, or swipe.

You're doing it wrong when you let them take a photo of you, your license, and your credit card whilst providing an email, your phone number, and agree to receive texts in order to get a code to proceed. Leave when they provide you an AUP, TOS, or privacy policy you must agree to prior. Stop staying for 30-days per their requirements, let them prance you around to God knows where like you're their property, asking them to wait whilst you research any involved, or worry about what happens when they're bought out.

When they hand it back saying you're a bot, or it's been refused, give them a daft look then try again. When their systems are down, meaning they can't see, don't try again when told to since vision doesn't work that way. What do I know though since you wouldn't shock me if you handed them your house keys instead, provided someone to escort them there, and then thanked them for their business. Hate to break it to you, but your line was missed, lost, ran off, or left you with the other lost souls in Baffleland.

I'd give my ID to Discord if it was guaranteed that the leadership of Discord goes to prison in case of a data breach.

Why would the leadership should go to jail when a data breach is IT's fault? If your card gets cloned, the CEO of the bank should not go to jail. I agree with paying (HUGE) fines, but you suggestion is juvenile, at best.

So that they don't create conditions under which such breaches are inevitable in the long run.
