    It’s literally owned at large (undisclosed as a private company it is) part by Tencent , by one of the most major famous companies/puppets of CCP/Communist Chinese Party.

    China is known for abolishing anybody who disobeys their rules and anybody who accuses them of not being more “Free” or for criticizing them. (Egh egh … Jack Ma). Obviously anybody who opposes their demands ceases to exist. Anything they can’t control, they’re banning it. It’s a known fact, not a tinfoil one. With dozens of examples:

    • Google
    • Winnie the pooh - coz a bunch of uni students said Xi looks like him and he got insulted. How shitty ego can you have
    • Peppa Pig: This animated children’s show was temporarily banned in China because it was seen as a subculture icon of the “shehuiren” (society person), a term used to describe people who run counter to the mainstream value and are usually poorly educated with no stable job.
    • Brad Pitt: Following the release of the movie “Seven Years in Tibet” (1997), which portrays a negative view of China’s activities in Tibet, Brad Pitt was banned from entering China.
    • Bohemian Rhapsody movie: All references to Freddie Mercury’s sexuality and AIDS diagnosis were removed
    • South Park: well … any fun who watches south park knows. And there’s even an episode dedicated to that.
    • Lady Gaga, Selina Gomez, Maroon 5, Chinese Celebrities like Fan Bingbing disappeared for several months in 2018 amidst a tax evasion scandal
    • “Time-travel” TV dramas

    Anyway. We all know how China doesn’t like Criticism. This is just a list for the bots that will come down to accuse me of being tinfoil hatted.

    And discord is literally a platform with NO-TEXT-ENCRYPTION. So, OBVIOUSLY, YEAH, they know everything you write there. Literally. And your profile name, and your history, your servers, chat logs, what games you like more if you connected your steam, what music you listen to if you connected your spotify etc.

    Discord should be banned from the whole universe. Not just explode.
