Moral of the story: don't send anything on the internet that you won't tell/show a random stranger. Even the best security will be breached, and we all know that most things have really bad security

the fact that scams are appearing even more quicker as NTTS will upload a video explanation of it is hilarious

I honestly feel bad for the person who has to read my messages.

"doing this breaks discord terms of service" like that matters

A naked man fears no pickpocket.

as someone who is in 200+ discord servers and only uses dm groups, i see this as an absolute win.

As someone who owns/moderates a few discord servers of varying size: yeah. Any discord server with competent-enough staff will have a bot that logs deleted messages. Usually in a staff-only channel. It’s great for moderation! So please do not send your address in big servers- the staff can see it. Will they use it? Doubtful. But the staff, and anyone with a 3rd party logger, can see it. Hell, I log *edited* messages too in my servers. Stay safe.

For no apparent reason, just a small reminder that EU citizens can request their personal data from any company in the world, including requesting the purpose/legal basis for collection, the storage duration, data sources, how they are processing it etc. They also have the right to erasure, where they can force the company to delete most of your personal data (except for some very special legal exceptions, but chat messages etc shouldn't fall under that) So, if you were to see some analytics website in a random video, that could have personal data about you (usernames count), you could send them such a data request and after they answered, you could then use your right to erasure afterwards (or at the same time, but then they can first delete your data and send you an empty response the the data request, making it easier for them).

So, news flash, you don't need a bot to do that. When someone deletes the message on discord, discord server sends a "delete message with this id" message to all clients connected. Any client modification or self-bot can just ignore that request, heck, even if was respected, message logging happened the moment message was sent, it doesn't matter what happens later, it's already in a database. Discord chats are public. Treat it as public space, don't ever post personal data on it.

Security is a nitro only feature

Yeah, Discord users _thinking_ seems a little too foreign of an idea to me.

Remember, there are people whose response to this is "I have nothing to hide!"

You shouldn’t even have to be this cautious on discord

i think discord hired one actual dev, because in the last two weeks, they have added 2 features, and fixed one issue. Truly a new era.

My main discord account got disabled recently for apperantly being "underage", I'm 19 and I found this weird, Turns out some kid reported a message that I said "I admit I'm 4" After being told I'm a kid constantly. Anyway I appealed for a revoke and they declined it for...photo being blurred out even though it's not blurred out... Discord staff is actually trash and hella slow and they don't even care about their members or fanbase.

As someone who doesnt use discord i see this as an absolute win

*The spy has already breached our defenses.*

Well if they use my messages to train AI then it wont last long, for the AI that is

The fact limzo is within ToS but Vencord isnt is disgusting

it's not like the government isn't already saving all my messages anyways after the incident

This problem is pretty much impossible to solve on Discord's end. There's no way to stop self-bots that does not infringe on the privacy of general users. You can't just tell all users to show their ID, and if you did that anyways, I'd bet that the average self-bot user actually has more IDs than the average user. Discord does encourage people to share a lot of info by nature, since it tends to engage people in real-time conversations where you have less time to think over what you say, but people need to realize this and just think more carefully rather than complaining to management who can do practically nothing.

NTTS, thank you for your contribution to society. Seriously, I mean that unironically.

Its likely that almost all public servers(and a lot of private servers) already have logs. How much they log is upto the server but almost everything is. In my private servers, some of them have logs, others have transparent logs where everyone can see - but if something went against someones privacy, id delete from logs. Generally we tend to avoid things that are private information. Like when someone sends their whole address in a server, another member may use to dox it. But I believe in my team that they willl not use the information for malicious perposes and disregard it. Personal safety is important guys. If you think youll regret sending it, even a tiny sliver, sdont send it

This is illegal in the EU. You can sue the sh*t out of these people.

Big brain move, be anti-social and dont be on discord servers and everything is solved

Next vid: "Think twice before reacting to a message" 💀💀

As someone who ran a python/PHP bot about 15 years ago, this is nothing new. I had a chat bot that not only let me see who said what in a command prompt, live, but also recorded it to a txt file. As creepy as that sounds, I used it to debug chat commands such as Spin the Bottle, IdleRPG, room greeter and a prototype where it would try to have a decent coverstation (never finished or worked out, that last one). As online safety is concerned, just always assume any bot is always recording everything, to drop in on you or otherwise.

Imagine this guy's surprise when you ask for your data and sees what Discord gives him.

Shoutout to my friend [NAME REDACTED] who said the hard R

As someone who has written self-bot and tools to copy an entire server's channels and messages in realtime in the past, yea, it was easy to do so. But unless you send financial documents (which you shouldn't, in the first place), worrying about these stuffs is just as worrying about some stranger seeing your messages in a public server. It's just paranoid.

ima be honest im a moderater of a server who has a simelair bot but we use it to block nsfw content and nobody is ever stupid to send personal stuff in the server idk why i commented this but i just wana say this dude is one the best people ever for making everyone aware of multiple stuff (including discord stuff)

Also, people who know how to program can make a script which connects to Discord as a client and saves messages. From there, you can do whatever you want. Heck, you could even make your own gateway to chat with people just by using the script or create commands to listen to and send messages accordingly when a command is sent from another user. The limits are essentially non-existent with a custom client that you program yourself.

I'm so mad I can't just mass delete my discord messages I gotta 1. Look for something to figure out every server I've joined 2. Manually search for messages in various chats and delete them (which is definitely suspicious) 3. Delete my account. This has to break the right to be forgotten law or something

POV: Me deleting a whole paragraph I typed to someone

welcome to yurination

Me sending messages rn:

Thing is... discord "fixing" the bots viewing messages in discovery isn't a "win". Since normal user accounts can view it, so can bots using normal user accounts. And discords ToS will do absolutely nothing to solve this because even IF discord actually bothered banning people for this, they could have a new account up and running in 30 seconds and continue message logging. To fix this discord would need to change discovery, and also implement captcha options for server join... and they won't do it because if it doesn't make them big money they don't care.

Discord tracks your data and no one bats an eye... but a person tracks your data and everyone loses their minds!!!!

"dont know why people are wasting their resource on just scanning all these messages". This information is of so much value for anything. its a huge amount of data from online users talking unfiltered on a variety of interests.

And this is why I deleted discord a year ago. I occasionally see my friends who still use discord, the interface, it's completely changed. No more tags, only usernames. New AI scams. All sorts of shit. If I ever return, I will do it under the vanguard of an alt account (or multiple ones).

discord users cant read so they made a bot to read for them 🤯🤯

this is 1. illegal, and 2. if its for an AI, its going to create another Tay incident.

when i had discord, i received NO videos related to discord, now 1 year later, i've been recommended hundreds of discord videos

"what is allowed to the Gouverneur, it isn't to you, stinky" - ideal describtion of double standards. i hope discord would patch some of the problems

Damn, I didn't even realize that the stuff I sent before can be somewhere publically...

Wow, finally Discord listened to you

even deleting it without a bot being in a server that can track your deleted messages in the server, there are people like me with message loggers

The feds are already onto me 🤣, there is no way this will make it any worse.

Ntts, thank you for REMINDING me its summer! I actually didn't notice!!! It's 38 degrees here, and i'm actually sweating.. THANK YOU NTTS!!

that "NUH UH" at 3:09 was legendary

That channel stats site reminds me of channel stats generators for IRC. IRC is very different. Servers are literal servers you connect to. Nobody can delete messages. There is no chat history. Client software may have logging features. Bots join like regular clients*. *unless it's a fake client generated by the server (actually more nuanced and needs a bigger explanation)

Discord w. They fixed something that is a problem

As long as it’s not the group chat messages I ain’t got to worry about getting death row

The best security is the one you don't know about.

Good thing Im not active in any discoverable servers

NTTS is gonna drop a video on how to make bots to piss of the HM Treasury server by auto adding reactions. Jokes aside, great video as always

I'm so surprised that I'm going to take another sip of my tea.

Good thing I don't send stuff my mom wouldn't be able to see

NO TEXT TO SPEECH HAS A CRUSH ON MEEEEEEEE :) 8:20

I can't believe NTTS lives at the white house. That's my presedent!

Me: makes roblox chat longer NTTS: makes video about chat loggers

LOL that message 🤣 great video!

me watching this 8 months later:

We should spam these with horrible messages on alts since they require a bot being in the server

:D As a server owner to a growing discordbot. I log a lot of stuff. Discords API lets you log SOOO much stuff.

This should be common sense for everyone, but reality is that it's not for everyone.

Imagine the Law Enforcement or Government Agencies use this for Background Checks

Imagine being surprised that messages you send in a public discord server are publicly visible to all users, bots, data scrapers, etc. As a side note, if someone posts a picture and then deletes it, you can still view it if you have its attachment URL. Not only does discord save it on their backend, they also don't revoke public access to it.

remember that stuff about "not giving personal info over the internet"? yeah. do that, people. your privacy is your responsibility. you can't live in a glass house and expect or demand people to just not look. plus, any publicly available space where the information & data are public (literally any social media or publicly accessible forum, yes, this includes things where you need an account to access) has the information & data *_PUBLICLY AVAILABLE_* so honestly, you can't really get upset about anyone taking screenshots/recordings or using message loggers anyway. just don't give personal info anywhere public.

Dang this is scary that people can just logg everything everyone says in a server. Does this apply to private dm's? does discord save and logs your messages, voice and video calls? I mean since it's not a server I assume you can't use a bot to so it makes me wonder if you're still safe in private messaging which Im not sure.

Hey Ntts said "you go out once in a while" I was like Damm how does he know

me when discord wasn't listed on digital footprint infographic I saw at school so I go ham in group chat

Why do we have to think on discord, we should be able to feel free to do anything on discord

1:19 Tuscany mentioned 😮😮😮🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

F*** now I'm paranoid, and I don't even send personal stuff.

at least now we know that ntts’ real name starts with an r

Nooo they are gonna find out about my rainworld obsession!!! What a tradgedy

This is probably the nerdiest ntts vid I've watched so far

couldnt this be theoretically be counter-attack by spamming banned words 💀

I am actually happy that it’s finally not summer anymore and I can go outside for more than a few minutes at a time.

Uh oh, I may have sent 9 11 joke today XD

these selfbots are so annoying, thank god the server I'm in has double verification bots purely to filter out bots and stuff

searing heat here. as a pc worker i hate the immense heat. i need to run my whole room in fans to keep cool. also man discord is scary indeed how much malicious stuff u can do.

the discord api has every message you ever sent even if its deleted I think

this is why i only send my personal info to a friend inside dms (no, i wont even send it in a group chat)

Think Twice? brother i dont even think once

3:05 my trained AI eyes after looking at a lot of "Japanese" Videos immediately recognized it spelled "Join Genshin Impact Official"

Woah, I think you live with the president.

If anybody could not figure out that that adress was fake, they should probably get their brain checked...

TL;DR, Think twice before you utilize the reason Discord exists in the first place.

I GOT DISABLED THE MOMENT THIS VIDEO WAS UPLOADED $$$

I going outside to pick a couple apples after this video.

Good thing I don’t talk in public discord servers

This is nothing new. Many years ago, I ran a chatbot and it logs all messages sent in a text file, to train the chatbot. Everything you post on the internet, even if you delete or edit it, it will never be actually deleted.

4:49 is that a message logger? :sus: xd

clicking images taking adress , stalk is becoming unuseable

So, I assume these message loggers also log message edits? So why not setup a discord bot, that sends a max character message with max possible data usage, and constantly edit the message, and eventually just fill the scraper's drive?

1:49 THATS THE WHITE HOUSE ADRESS LOL

1k views in 3 mins is crazy (ikik this is a popular channel overall)

This guy is the final boss of discord mods
