Remove phone verification from Discord...

[Gisborne]

After seeing and reading how invasive and dodgey discord is with personal information and the like, there's no way I'm giving my phone number to discord. Why do you and a few other discord require this? Thank you for blocking me from joining discord and being part of this game now because I will not verify my mobile... Stop this ridiculous requirement ffs.

That's Tencent at work gathering data.

Holy... Tencent owns 38% of discord and all the data had to be given to the Chinese gov... Who made discord? Why would they sell out to tencent?

They also own Funcom haha

China is 100% reliant on the West, so if the USA and Europe fall so do China. Imagine the billion a of Chinese workers who rely purely on making products for the West. There would be mass unemployment and starvation and complete collapse of China without it.

China can get every resource possible from Russia/Iran/Africa and it will. Read about BRICS.

I agree with the author, remove this check from Discord. I refuse to take it.

agreed. Also look up google numbers.... and a vpn....

The game itself better not require phones

You'll be cutting off a large part of the gaming market right there

Everyone requires this. I assume its really a matter of Discord policies. Not with Funcom or Tencent. Just check other game forums and you get the same topic.

Not one discord community I am in has this phone number requirement. It's cool I won't join than. Problem solved.
