Remember that Tencent own a 38% share in Discord. Chinese-owned companies are required, by law, to turn over any logs that are requested of them to the CCP without consent, a warrant, or disclosure.It kind of reminds me how Sakana uses Discord for company communication. It's crazy to me how Phase just trusts Discord go have all their private conversations between talents and between managers and vtubers. One of these days, a rogue actor who's pissed about the company is gonna scrape the company Discord, doesn't even need to be PC, and release the entire Discord log of everything. That or there'll be a leak or something because Discord sucks.
Now, Winnie the Pooh probably isn't concerned with the goings-on of anime women in a niche Canadian entertainment company himself - but in order to comply with this requirement, Discord likely have a convenient way of pulling up plaintext copies of chatlogs as and when they're needed. Regardless of the security measures in place, no administrator account is truly safe. Just something to think about.
The previous Phase leaks (the talent/staff dox) very likely came about as a result of cybercrime which proves the company's detractors will go to extreme lengths to hurt them, and since all the talents' and most of the staff's accounts are known and recognisable from the community Discord, it would be much easier for bad actors to identify them if any megaleaks dropped anywhere. They really should tighten things up sooner rather than later.
