Guys this is good or not. Police have now arrested all seven suspects in a major trafficking bust involving teenage victims. Police say they found two teen boys in a filthy, trailer in st petersburg and police say was used as a slave. You can't change someone who is inherently just messed up in the mine before we get into this documentary aka soft willy for helping me tell the story about the dark sides of this score software deeper into these chapters.

Things are just going to get crazier and crazier. So stay till the end, who is this man that looks like the face of a gamer? A gamer came out of his mother's womb, with a nintendo 64 controller in one hand and a mechanical keyboard in the other. His name is jason citron, the founder and ceo of discord in one of his interviews. He was asked what he thinks about screen time and limiting gaming for kids.

This was his response. Video games today actually can really help people learn about cooperation, there's actually a lot of great fantastic life. Lessons that get taught in the micropositive of playing online video games. Citroen said that he was obsessed with mobile games ever since he was gifted the original nintendo nes.

With the age of five, though, as long as he finished his homework, his parents didn't care if he played video games instead of going outside as a hardcore gamer. He believes that games teach valuable life lessons and by creating discord, he's giving people a safe space to grow in a gaming community. His passion is apparent, but there's something you should know about him discord wasn't the first platform he's built on february 17 2009. He launched open faint, the platform allowed app developers to add social networking right into their apps.

They were dedicated to bringing the world closer together with mobile gaming, but here's when things started to become questionable. Just one year after launch, the network already had over 10 million users because of the rapid growth intel invested, a good chunk of money in it and soon after a japanese company called gree bought open faint for 104 million dollars. Uh, there's no division between open, faint and grey acting as one entity in the beginning. I have no doubt that jason's intentions were pure, but when you add a ton of money into the equation, things change intentions, shift and people turn a blind eye more often than not as soon as jason's guys.

This narration is a disaster. I'm sorry guys, i'm just gon na say you guys it has. It sounds like those like uh facebook slam like poetic writers, you guys, you know it sounds like guys. The guy 30 minutes into the session something felt wrong, two red bulls in and he could feel his heart pounding.

He was having defeating the victim of a heart attack, but he did not know he was. I mean at the time yeah before holy dude gamers filed a class-action lawsuit against it, lead plaintiff, matthew, hines claimed that open faint accessed and stored unique device identifiers. This means everything from gender age, education level and even exact gps location. This was all done in a way that bypassed what was supposed to be unauthorized access.

They had access to everything. Jason knew this we'll never know if he planned it, but neither he nor his team stopped it. The company was eventually shut down, but that didn't stop jason from moving on to his next project. From a business standpoint, open, faint and discord are very similar.

Both businesses were built with the end goal of being acquired by a massive topic. Yeah yeah come on chad guys give me the name aside from chugging a fifth before the show he would down a whole handle or 35 shots of rum first thing in the morning for breakfast every day he is also known to drink wine during each concert straight Out of the bottle, sometimes being so drunk he'd sing the wrong song company and we all know how that goes: profits over users, you discord's business model, was complicated too. First of all it's free to use. So how did they make money? Well, right off the bat discord relied heavily on venture capitalist funding, which is not a sustainable model.

Today, the way discord earns revenue is through being a premium platform which means that it's free to use, but with optional subscriptions such as discord nitro over two years ago. We launched discord nitro a way for you to support us and get some sweet perks for your account. However, running such a huge company on optional subscriptions isn't helping them pay the bills, i'm not one hundred percent sure, but according to some sources, microsoft offers discord 10. Guys i buy all this distribution on the internet chat, nitrous carbon 2 billion dollars to buy the company, but jason still turned microsoft.

Down forgot thinking, big jason is thinking huge. He believes that his company is worth so much more now. We all know that businesses need good revenue to be sustainable, but jason citron already had a track record of illegally collecting and selling personal data from its users. How can we be so sure that he won't do it again? The next time you open discord, you might want to think twice if they're really putting you its user first, i asked jason about uh what he thinks about.

I actually have some of the higher ups. I discord multiple times because i sit at the parties and is that parties and i was asked why, how the uh? Why can you not delete full combos on this quarter? Why can't you delete anything? It's all a lot, it's just so only that it locks in there. That's just not possible and all you can with certain tools. But it's that's not true, though you can't safety and content moderation, we do have a trust safety team.

You cannot in dms, you have to go one at a time: bing, bang, bang, it's so annoying full-time employees that people can escalate issues to. If people forward messages to our you know content to our trust and safety team, we will go investigate and we will action communities that are violating our guidelines. Hmm, like what website? What do you say? We do have a trust safety team, full-time employees that people can escalate issues to what am i hiding it um. Well i mean i usually cringe.

I still am, but there's some cringe on this one. I just want to get rid of it, we'll forward messages to our you know, report content to our trust and safety team. We will go investigate and we will action communities that are violating our guidelines. Yeah.

I need to so what happens if you decide to delete your discord account? Well, it's obviously deleted right. Well, this is the process nope. First you click user settings. Then you click delete.

Account you'll, be asked to input your password to confirm deletion. If you try to log back in you'll, see that it says your account is scheduled to self-destruct soon, then you'll have two weeks to decide. If you want it to be permanent after those two weeks, the real process begins, the user will no longer have access to their discord account and the username will be changed to deleted user. Wait.

What, if you're telling me that my account doesn't actually get deleted, but the name just changes to deleted user something's not right here. Would you delete your account? The goal is to delete all data associated with it under article 17 of the gdpr company. Wait. Why would anybody do this, though, acquired when requested, to erase all personal user data without delay? This is called the right to be forgotten.

It's an article that allows a person a data subject to erase their information under certain conditions. But what really happens when discord deletes your account all the messages you've ever sent are still stored and your username simply changes. I'm not an expert in law, but to me it seems like it clearly goes against the gdpr. So what else does discord keep track of? Wait is this an eu though, because that's the eu, you has a bunch of garbage as well, though yeah there's only a place to eu.

Also uh use a bunch of weird laws that apply to the internet, but nobody does about them. Nobody puts them, and nobody uh enforces that everything already germany has a bunch of weird with the internet, but nobody enforces that garbage sorry by the name of cloudracer did an interesting experiment in 2018, as part of gdpr discord allowed users to download their data and also Created controls for turning off how much data was collected, this redditer wanted to see exactly how much data discord stores and how the whole system works. What they found was that every click of a button and every word typed, was tracked by discord. This information was then stored into five separate folders account activity, messages, programs and servers.

You can find all the messages you have ever sent to anyone and, if you've ever used discord for gaming you're aware of the feature that tells you what games your friends are playing discord, stores, history of that. If companies like gdpr, they get two which is just unnecessary. What's crazy. Is that everything even hotmail at the time it was 14 day or like two months for uh deletion? Anything you, post or even send through a private message, is not private everything you send regardless.

If it's in a dm or in a public server is absolutely not private, one, reddit user said that his friends got their accounts disabled for being under the age of 13.. This was a false report because they were all above 16, but why did discord think they were 13. discord? Staff looked through their old messages of them, joking around about being 12 years old because they were playing fortnite nice. But if you read the messages surrounding it, you could tell that it was a joke.

They emailed discord and discord, requested selfies and a photo id. But in the end, despite having done what was requested, discord said that they were banned permanently on top of moderators. Having access to your messages, the mozilla foundation said that discord as a platform is not intended for encrypted communications. It does use standard encryption, but does not provide end-to-end encryption for its video chats.

This makes them a massive target for hackers, because it only takes one breach for everything to become public information. Even the notorious facebook which has had privacy concerns in the past uses end-to-end encryption, but the question for discord is why this is just speculation. But since why not have the past of selling personal data in open faint? Wouldn't it make sense for discord to do the same. I mean selling data is profitable, insanely, profitable and discord is having trouble bringing in the types of profits.

But again that's just one theory. The redditor that did the experiment left a powerful statement which i summed up here. Discord's moderation team can read your messages. What would you type in a private message to someone? Your secrets, fears your passwords.

I talk to my friends and i talk to my lovers. They know a lot about me yeah, but the right deletion, though, is just kind of like i'm sure i don't know much about law that much okay, but i'm sure they use some insane loopholes to go around the right of to be to be forgotten and and A bunch of other loopholes dude because clearly a bunch of websites don't have this. Okay, the writer be forgotten that is clearly not enforced or loopholed around for sure, because i can't find a single site, i can actually delete my from it's impossible discord. Staff members absolutely can and as jody rels said, once you've lost your privacy.

You realize you've lost an extremely valuable thing. This documentary is about to take a turn if you think that what we've talked about so far is problematic - oh my god around, because it's going to get worse. Oh my god! This is so stupid to me how people can eat for reason. I don't understand what you're saying isn't being different.

Look at this 2, 000 plus fursuit. Then the world would be. You wish you could own something as good as this makes a difference. I like wash my hands.

If you don't have a clue what cubs are and no i'm not talking about this cub or this cub twenty-nine, let's start with the basics ucl, i love you furry. Fandom is a subculture interested in animal characters with human personalities. The members of this community are known as furries, i'm not alone uh. There are other people out there that are into this.

Oh, my more furries, oh my god, we've made over 600 fursuits a big part of being a furry is role-playing by putting on what they call a fursuit members of the furry community say that this is a way for people who are shy or don't fit in To fit in now, the term cub is used to describe an animal character, just like a furry, but is under age, oftentimes, even 10 years old or younger, and while not all cub content is explicit. A lot of it is discord was caught in a disturbing controversy involving these cubs back in 2019, one angry gamer posted about discord, allowing cub content on the platform, but not lolly content, guys, i'm gon na, be honest guys. I think the big problem that i have is that a lot of people seem, i know, there's a lot of normal furries or whatever light bulbs seem to deny that a big part of the furry like uh, i feel like. Maybe i'm wrong identity and whatnot has a sexual aspect to it all right and i feel like a lot.

It seems like a big disproportionate. A portion of of the freeze say that oh, it's not sexual, yet most the time that i see furry stuff, it's usually sexual and even like furry con videos and like that, there's a bunch of like you know like dildos that are like uh animal like which Is i mean you know like clearly? It's not it's a part. It's a big part of it. I mean, if you don't know what loli means.

Look it up at your own discretion, but just know you can never unsee it. Anyways people were outraged that cub content was allowed on the platform at all. One of the discord admins responded by saying that they do not consider cub content to be a violation of their terms or guidelines, and users should just mark it as nsfw wait. Is this gon na bias, though, isn't this usually a furry uh 25 um give it all i'll? Do it to be a violation of their terms or guidelines, and users should just mark it, as nsfw people were so outraged that discord finally changed their policy to ban all cub content.

The ban is for non-human animals as long as they appear to be underage nick explained his perspective on it that that is someone who is or something that is of an adolescent, mind an underdeveloped mind. That's just wrong to me. There should be no entertainment of any sort of sexual activity with anything or anyone, whether it is a depiction or whether it is an actual being where their mind is actually like fully developed. The fact that discord was allowing this type of material for quite a long time is disturbing, but why was it allowed in the first place? Some think that the rules were unclear.

Honestly, it's recorded being more unclear about the rules, not clearing up specifics about what should or shouldn't be allowed. Others think that the answer is way more personal, probably if i could think of a theory in like a few seconds, maybe a few of the admins are furries themselves that are creeps, but whatever it may be. The fact that i'm gon na go and say this too much power and too little regulation. My name is murray and welcome to heaven.

You see this abuse of power again and again, someone posted about an experience with a discord admin that goes by the name. All the foxes on reddit he was apparently disabling discord, accounts for no reason. The admin all the foxes stated that the person's account was involved with servers that promoted non-consensual material, but this user was in 20 different servers and never posted a single thing. That was even a little bit inappropriate, so we asked the admin why he was banned and all the foxes just gave a generic response based on the results of our investigation.

This is a permanent action and we will not be reinstating the account sincerely discord, trust and safety team, so this banned person did some researching online and found that at least five people have had similar experiences with the same discord. Admin all the foxes and further investigation led him to finding even more upsetting posts about this admin. All the foxes was a moderator for the gaming subreddit that has over 31 million members, but he was forced to step down from his position as moderator and explain this. I made some unfortunate decisions and was irresponsible.

I'm ashamed of myself my decisions and the pain i have caused. The admin realized that he abused the power he gained and ended up deleting his account. As lord acton once said, power tends to corrupt absolute power. Corrupts absolutely.

You see this in the 1971 stanford prison experiment, it's a real cop car. I was a real policeman and there were real neighbors in the street who didn't know that i was. This was a experiment. I had really thought that i was incapable of this kind of behavior.

In the study college students became either prisoners or guards in a simulated, prison environment, the guards subconsciously, abused their powers so much that they became so cruel and tyrannical to the prisoners. In only four days, three prisoners were so traumatized that they were released from the experiment and less than one week later, the experiment was shut down. This was a real life example, but the hunger for power is the same everywhere and when you're protected by the apparent anonymity of the internet, it's even worse. There are many other examples of bands from discord ads like our people are personally guys.

This is it's you guys i'd say it's like rp, but that i mean that is literally that copy it literally people, people abuse their all the time. What about popular youtuber named quackity was banned for reasons that didn't go against the terms of surface. This doesn't feel like. I got the reasoning for my band.

This feels like you, like. You personally got motivated to ban me. The reason for the ban was so poorly written that it wasn't even grammatically correct posting images of people using discord in ways you think is funny, isn't acceptable. That would just confuse me.

What does that even mean? There's no doubt that the abuse of power is obvious. With some of discord staff, but what happens when the hunger for power possesses an everyday user like you than me? What is this video? This is overly dramatical for a reason i feel like you could get to the point. Without all this shock, doxxing is short for dropping docs, docs being slang for documents. So it's a malicious act used by people to get revenge on others by revealing their personal information huh living in a modern society.

We all show off our personal data online. We post comments on instagram argue with people on twitter and buy things from amazon, but what, if you get in a fight with someone, and they end up digging through your information, to expose you and damage your reputation? Cyber criminals go a step further. I'm talking your home address bank account information and even your personal photos that aren't shared to the public and nick aka soft willy explains that it happens more often than you think i was in communities where people would threaten to docs all the time. One survey that i was on where i met actually all of my friends.

There was a huge doxing scare of like 15 people, where this one kid was just targeting loads of people with doxing and with the blackmail material that i had mentioned comes explicit material something's like i have your naked pictures. I have illicit photos of you. I have a list, i have screenshots of you whatever it is, give your information. This will be released.

So right, yes, and no, if your information is public and someone just reposts it, then it's not illegal chances. Are your address is already public and you don't even know it yeah. I don't think news either guys, even though i'm going to shower because i use my phone and my phone in the shower every day every day i'm in the phone i'm going to show up. My phone, but but i always go like this yeah i have like a phobia okay of like i think you know, i'm always like this.

No, if i'm standing up, i'm like this make sure that the camera is everything like this and like that. You know - and i i'm never like this or like that - didn't like that dude, it's just how it is man tons of background check websites and if someone doesn't like you, they can find out where you live and again it's still not illegal. But if someone forces this information out of you like or or all the time you guys, i'm also like this or pinpointing your exact location or finding out your social security number. It's definitely legal.

This almost happened to a youtuber named kemp hugh his life was threatened. Q plays the game runescape and posts youtube videos about it. There's a discord community of desperate people that would do whatever it takes to get their hands on the in-game money. These people create a livelihood from manipulation and scamming they're, so numb to this lifestyle that they do.

Cyber attacks to the point of committing felonies without thinking twice one person even commented on chem q's video, saying that this literally feels like a virtual cartel and camp q was one of their victims. It started when he made friends with a scammer on runescape. The scammer taught him how to get a guaranteed first hit against an opponent and shared other secrets through skype lag, i'm being targeted; okay, big stake, damn clicking into it, wow wow yeah, i'm done i'm not saying tonight. Today, i'm asking you: a year later, the scammer stole 250 million in-game currency from kemp, but luckily the scammer ended up regretting his shameful lifestyle and offered kemp an inside look into the underground scanning scene.

I knew people in the fidman mode tournaments, with teams of auto hockey cheats. Chem q got messages from the underground community when he started bringing to light the scams that have been going on in their discord server. The scammers offered to pay him to tell them who his inside source looked like, but money wasn't going to change his mind. Camp q put out a tweet regarding the scammers, greedy mentality and the threats began.

You really want to put me on a tweet i'll, get you swatted, you rat. You have two hours to take the video down or i'll make you regret it. He continued saying that his community is working on boxing chem q to find out his home address, so they could cause physical harm and the threats just kept getting worse. Is this? You don't think someone can't just pay someone to get you killed.

Luckily, i don't think their toxic community was able to find chem queues yeah. This is saying that's the same. When it registered 17 gets his one back off prayer. This could kill max when it register what the look, how lucky it is, the hint didn't even spawn.

I can't do this today. I can't do this today, bro. I can't do this today. I can't i can't do this today.

I waited too long. I spent three weeks i spent three weeks waiting for this. I did 14 hours 16 hours every single day and i skipped the jam for this. I lost 10 pounds for this.

Damn it fix your game. You toxic company, you, oh my god, fix the game, fix it information and actually do any real harm, but i'm sure they did this with other people in the past. This happened so often on discord that many innocent lives have been ruined. So how do you avoid? Being boxed well, the honest truth is that you can't be 100 safe if a hacker truly has no life and hates you that much he'll probably find a way, but the one big way to minimize risk is to remove your address from all online sources.

In 2017, an extremist group's discord server was exposed. They doxxed people that they felt were inferior to them. The server even contained detailed instructions on how to dox properly one of the most popular ways to find people's addresses is simply by searching white pages. If your address is on a background, hey challenge the out man.

When individuals like these band together, things can get really dark really fast. If we do things, but there are also bad people, people who only live for themselves and don't give any regard for others. When individuals like these band together, things can get really dark really fast. So it is.

I mean as long as neither of y'all tell anybody when you have something like an underage dating server. You are pretty much the light for a whole bunch of mosquitoes xcql. According to the fbi, there are believed to be more than 500 000 online predators active each day, and a lot of them are in discord, they're very much around on discord, and the reason why they're very much around is because it's so easy to be around discord. Is the perfect platform for these types of people, because it's so easy to fake who you are you don't need a real profile picture? You can set your age to whatever you want and you can message whoever you want when someone puts up a fake facade, hey.

I just want to be your friend but they're. Actually a 28 year old, dude and you're a 15 year old girl, the ease of doing 24 hours have been reactors, sort of content. Kiddo, hey man am, i are you still mad you're you're insurance banned. You dude permanent sucker.

This is super easy. On april 6, 2000 telling me they put out a video guess what bro he's got catfish, but how do you feel being a dough bro, 15 year old, bro and you're 25? Damn that's! That's upsetting! The video got over 600 000 views and he gave me some insight about what goes on in the minds of these people. The biggest proponent is that they're lonely. So when they're lonely, then you start reaching for the vulnerable, which is what a lot of these people do, and i don't at all agree with what they're doing that's just a simple truth.

Some of them are just up in the head, and some of them are just really lonely, and they don't think straight, and they, you know, still do it anyway, because they're like okay, no, it doesn't really matter what's scary, is that there are these dating servers specifically For people under the age of 18., these servers are for 13 to 17 year olds, but they're. The perfect debate for preds, a youtuber by the name of blazen, decided to infiltrate one of these servers posing as a young girl, a random discord user named wreck. Srs dm blazon's fake profile. They were talking casually at first, but then he asked for her age.

She explained that she was 14 years old, but that didn't phase 23 year old rec srs. He proceeded to ask for selfies from her and after receiving the fake pictures. He sent something extremely obscene one in five u.s teenagers who regularly use the internet have received messages like these, and sometimes it's not just obscene pictures that are the result of it. Florida law enforcement just busted a major trafficking operation involving teenage victims, was lured through an online gaming app called this school.

In 2019, there was an article posted about discord being used to lure teens into trafficking police arrested, seven suspects in a bust involving teen victims. They found two boys locked in a trailer in saint petersburg florida. One of those boys had been there for one year to be used as a slave. For the next year police say he was held captive in a filthy, trailer with four adult men.

A discord was the way the suspects connected with their victims. Christopher gerteson talked about why kids are easily accessible on the platform. We just have it running in the background, so we don't have to like press down any buttons to allow our voice to pass through the game we just we just talking to our mics and everybody and our everybody in our channel can hear it. These suspects most likely join servers posing as teenagers, because it's so easy all you have to do is join it.

There's no one betting! Anybody all you have to do is join the server and pretend you're. However old you say, you are nick also talked to me about how kids, who are under 13 were joining his own personal server. I don't know how many times i've had to just say like how old he meant like, like honestly, be honest with me, guys, guys, who think is pyro, who the is that look. It's like tim's tipping that to chima, but i'm a really big fan.

I'm sorry! This is a liability for myself. This is against discord's terms of service and it's dangerous for you. So for that reason, i'm going to have to remove you from the server on discord. It's easy to pretend dangerous.

Catfishes joining online communities will never go away. We can do our part, but they'll always exist online. When nick caught these people on his youtube video, he felt good, but he also felt helpless us doing. That was definitely rewarding, but the grand scheme of things it doesn't change anything all you're doing is providing entertainment to something that needs light anyway.

However long that video was of us making a mockery, pretty much reading aloud the really cringe and horrifying messages really do it really didn't do much. There will always be dangerous people online and we can't stop them all, but we can do our best. I know this documentary is only about the dark sides of discord, but discord can truly be a wonderful platform. It's the perfect place to chat with your friends and build friendships that might last a lifetime.

It gives you the power to create your own place to belong. When you don't feel like you found it, you say cap, you guys clown discord, but everybody uses it like. I don't. I ever always says: everybody's clowns, sinus, discord, user and mother sucker.

You use discord like absent of your day nick wanted to leave you with some advice. Do not take this app so too hard do not take everything uh um x, i don't. I use skype shut up, shut up, shut up man. I made a tick tock.

No, but anybody uses skype these days online friends actually end up treating you a lot better is from what i've noticed that people in real life. However, you have to find that point where you know when it's healthy to kind of take a step back, because when you take a step back, you're also no longer prone to any of these dangers, and i agree i would never encourage others to delete an app. They enjoy using, but i believe that life is about balance. Your online presence on discord should not constitute your entire life.

The purpose of this documentary isn't to trash on discord, but how do you make a silver platform? Anytime? Things are deleted and things are moderated. You guys say, but what about my free speech and what about the right to do this? What about my rights? What about this every time, there's something that is that you agree with? Is it remove? You say: oh, that's, censorship. This is what is this. This is china huh, like off dude, just off to bring to light the bad sides of the platform that many people don't know about and since its users grow every day, we need to know what we're walking into for all.

I know this documentary may go nowhere or if it does, it might not do much to make discord a safer environment. Like i said, we can't stop everything. That's table logic again. Let's never stop.

Trying now go make the world a better place: visual adventure, okay, uh! I enjoy this video, but this is a little bit that was way too dramatic for no reason, also the visual's a little bit off, but it's a good video though i'm sorry for the criticism i liked it tonight give me.
