What it means for you

What you write in a big public server could be read by anyone on Google, even without your name next to it.

What to do

In Discord, open User Settings, then Data & Privacy, and opt out before mid-December. In the EU and UK it stays off unless you switch it on.

Where and when: Big public servers, from mid-December
