Why would a company like discord even attempt to take action against coordinated attacks against anything they see as a threat? That'd only be shooting them in the foot because then people would have the most minute expectation of them doing anything good.
Because some of these actions might qualify as criminal offenses and if Discord had knowledge about it or even supported it, they'd be complicit.
I really hope this blows up in their face if true.
Ah, Japan, the country that lives in the future, if the future is the year 2000.
From the perspective of looking at the internet of today, the future is 1996.
Change my mind.
There is also discord guilds for sharing cheats, which is very damaging to the massive fps games industry. If discord would be complicit why doesn’t valve or riot sue them?
Using systems built into the game is damaging to the industry?
Or do you mean cracks/hacks? Because if it's a cheat, that's something the devs explicitly added.
And looking at Nintendo vs the R4, these companies do take down sites discussing/sharing hacks and cracks. Just not as publicly as you might expect it to happen because why would they, it's just a lawyer sending a very formal letter asking for them to either take it down, or their company will be taken down in court.
I’m talking about aimbots and wallhacks for online FPS games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwzIq04vd0M

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Interesting side note: if discord was e2e encrypted, how should they take action on anything?
If a group decides to swat a server and they can't review themselves, how should admin moderation work?
(Yes this isn't the current situation, but I'm on the toilet and it intrigued me)
Then they can't, and I think that's also the point. A tool shouldn't be snitching on its users. If the act itself is illegal, then of course the perpetrators can be prosecuted
