Discord has been confirmed to record the open processes on your operating system. This is a spyware feature known as a "process logger" that is generally used to record your program usage habits. This was confirmed by the CTO of Discord in this reddit thread. The CTO confirms that this spyware feature is mandatory and cannot be turned off. The CTO and an Engineer claim that Discord does not use the process logger to record the open processes on the users computer, however, this is not verifiable as the truth. What we do know is that Discord contains a process logger and sends encrpyted packets to it's master servers, meaning that it is impossible to prove that Discord is not sharing the information collected by its process logger.
Discord's only income comes from selling collected data
Discord has exclusively relied on the information that it collects from users to generate investment and income. This means that it's only finiancial incentives are to collect user data. Discord does not charge it's users any money to use it's services, yet it can sustain 4.2 million concurrent users on it's network according to its website. This is because it gets all of it's money from investment and data mining (spying on) it's users. Discord has raised $79.3 million dollars in investment since 2012. Discord has 45 million users, which means that it can collect an immense amount of data using its spyware platform.
Discord has a very high potential to be doing further data mining
