Discord says piracy subpoena would violate users’ First Amendment rights (www.theverge.com)

Discord defends itself against efforts to stop piracy on its platform by saying no to more invasive data collection. Even though Discord isn’t exactly known for privacy, this is a great move for its users. What are your thoughts?

If you want the history automatically, you can’t expect privacy.

That's not true, you can pull the history from other users who happen to be online.

The feds can also pull such history when they join the server

Sure, and the users of the channel could decide whether to share that history with new users or not. My point is that if you don't have messages on the server, the service can't help here, and it's up to the users of the channel to set their own policies. If the data is stored on the server, the service could be legally obligated to provide that data.
