GDPR and COPPA conformity

[Timinator]

I just wondered why Disco is neither GDPR nor COPPA conform. This could cause some serious damage to Discovery and i'm worried.

Nobody was mad enough to report the stuff here ;D

But you can't asume for all eternity that no one will do.

One guy ever suing disco is enough to take it down.

So you made this thread, giving someone an idea to do this, instead of PMing it to the staff? Great logic.

From what I understand the COPPA doesn't apply here because Disco is not hosted in America and in regards to GDPR there's very little that actually affects Discovery. We do not hold personal information about people outside of things like email addresses. Upon signing up you have the option to opt out of receiving emails from and you can hide it from other people. These are all changes that can be made via your control panel as well. Any email sent by Discovery will have an unsubscribe option as well. A lot of the required changes for GDPR would have been put in place by MyBB. Your details are not passed on to 3rd party companies either.

Don't forget IP addresses, Connor. You guys have access to those too.

And you store chat logs, those require consent too.

Also even if you store no data at all youre obligated to state so.

Probably would have been smarter to disclose this privately, instead of highlighting that someone could nuke the entire community right now.

Isn't all the stuff people use here like pictures a part of the GDPR aswell? I mean, you should at least reference the artists.

No they don't lol.

No that's Copyright stuff, not GDPR.

Ah yeah forgot about that.
