In a perfect world it would be reduced to 0 MB.

Discord even sends its DPO (data protection officer/privacy team) tickets to outsourced offshore copy & paste template support farms/AI chatbots. I've requested my data numerous times, half of the time the ticket was closed without a response, and the ones that DID get a response were the same copy & paste template telling me my data package is being generated.

All data packages were missing 90% of my account data (bug? size issue with zip files?), no avenue to report this to Discord of course. :^)

they recently added google searchability or something adjacent to that. I received a lot of pings in various discord servers about it being opt-out and that by default my messages are searchable now apparently
