Screenshots of employee devices, having a mole in the group, etc etc? We all know there’s a million ways to gain information about people online, there’s literally a dozen comms on lemmy about privacy and protecting your info. Your critical thinking cap is more like a conspiracy theory cap.
It’s not impossible discord collaborated with rockstar, but it’s fucking unlikely. What would discord even have to gain from it that’s worth the risk?
So you’re implying to me, a mole managed to acquire what Discord has in it’s database, and managed to 1:1 identify employees and rat them out, instead of just bribing Discord to give them GEOlocation and MAC address information…
What would discord even have to gain from it that’s worth the risk?
Where did you read that all employed members of the discord group were identified by a single mole? I must have missed that in the article. I myself suspect a combination of techniques was used, one of which was one or more moles.
I’d be interested on learning what non-platform doxing techniques they used as well. But seeing as Discord collaborates with fascist corporations, I lean in: “discord just complied and gave the data to them, for free.”
Hard to dox unionists using non-centralized non-law-abiding p2p communications.
They were in a discord group. That’s a far cry from ‘discord selling them out’
Now get your critical thinking skills cap on: How did Rockstar Games identify each member of the discord group?

Money. GTA is one of the most famous genre people make groups for. Why would you turn down a whale rancher’s bribe to identify employees willing to negotiate for better conditions when your rancher is a billionaire that can buy you?
Nah, they’re saying a member of the discord group might know the other members of the discord group. That member might rat out the other members.
So a singular mole was able to identify all 30 employed members of a discord group?
I haven’t been answered a homework I gave out🧵. Hopefully it brings enlightenment.
