Forget DHS or other government agencies, these companies have been shown to be untrustworthy stewards of our data from regular hackers.

I get that discord is used to groom kids and there is a very real risk to allowing children to use it unsupervised, but that means kids devices are the ones that need to be locked down, not the rest of the world.
