404 Media tested the service, called Spy Pet, and verified it is collecting information on Discord users, including the messages they post across usually disparate servers.
I'm much more worried about discord collecting this info and selling it, or building models on it, or just giving open access to the feds. This is just some person scraping 'public' chats.
Also You can't have discord delete your messages if you're in another chat with a discord bridge. You need to have a discord account associated with messages and since you aren't logged into discord there is no recourse.
Blows my mind how some 'privacy' chats have discord, telegram, etc bridges that constantly feeding them data. Looking at you GrapheneOS.
The market for this data (if it's got anything relevant, which it could) is law enforcement in states with abortion and trans healthcare bans/criminalization.
