I’m more concerned about all the data Tencent is collecting on behalf of PCC party. It is know that Tencent agreement with Discord imply data collection and data storage in china. The more Tencent buy companies, the more they collect data and the more they collect data, the more they know about you: which community you have joined on discord, who are your online friends, when you are online, who you talk to and your attitude toward them, how much money you spend in MTX (in Warframe and other games owned by them) and because discord act like a spyware, they know which program is installed on your computer, etc… They don’t specifically target you or me but neural networks best job is to sort data and find models in order to find the best way to trigger emotional answer and manipulate you, shiuld it be to makes you more willingly to spend money on MTX or pushing you to oppose regional or national decision that is bad for China.
A lot of people think MAAMA (ex-GAFAM) are a privacy nightmare and they are, but Tencent is way worst because they have more diversity in their bying meaning they know more about everyone AND thanks to discord contract leak we know they provide those datas to the PCC for their international propaganda.
