@everyone Discord has changed their Terms of Service!
Unfortunately, this change comes with a revocation of your legal rights. Discord has revoked your right to sue (you must go through an arbitrator) and to congregate as a class action lawsuit.
Luckily, there is an opt-out for the clause, in which you must email [email protected], but you must do it within 30 days or you can no longer opt-out.
YOU CANNOT DELETE OR DEACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT TO OPT-OUT OF THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE
You can see the added clauses for yourself here: https://gist.github.com/Rapptz/c93697c9d59ec2f0d8071b7d0e907632
Is this enforceable?
In the United States, yes. This was decided by the Supreme Court in 2011. See https://gc.gy/7538114
Why does this matter?
Without the ability to congregate for a class action lawsuit, if Discord ever leaks your data or does something catastrophically bad to a large portion of the population you have no way to representatively sue together without each of you individually suing via the arbitrator.
Please see the following article: https://gc.gy/7538130
Essentially:
1. Your right to file a complaint in the court of law is removed.
2. The arbitration system tends to heavily favour the company rather than the consumer.
3. Since your right to pool similar complaints together is taken away, the amount of damage you can do to a company that has wronged you significantly is limited to those who are willing to arbitrate.
What you need to do to opt-out
Email [email protected] from the email associated with your account, with the following (no special formatting required):
Subject: Opt-out from the arbitration clause
Content: I'd like to opt-out from your arbitration clause. user#0000
Please not that this is not a goddamn drill, this is real shit! Be sure to opt out and inform others of this so they know what’s at stake for them and everyone else too.

@Deleted User why?
@Deleted User answer me or I ban you 😄
Well you know my time zone differs from yours so I ask that you’re not so rude .
I wanted to ask you to @ everyone for an announcement
Yes I did saw your announcement earlier.
No this is something different
Well there is channels where you can post it.
I will check it out then.
@JoshTheWhite Yeah, never seen one myself, was made a couple decades ago probably and I was like ''yes, I'm bidding on this, I need this'' and I won.
@killie_cowboy Ha ha I don't blame you that's awesome. I've got some bits but nothing as rare as that.
Burger is back yet again
Banned by Discuck
Yeah, they're just banning anyone and everyone at this point
Ik
Happened a while back, I just forgot to join because I haven't listened to the past few episodes since it's in the middle of my school day.
My buddy's entire server got fucked, everyone in it was banned afaik.
That is probably what happened to me
I lost my servers and can't get back the couple I liked
