About this listen

In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden ways Discord generates its multi-billion dollar valuation, exploring its unique business model that relies heavily on user data. We discuss how Discord’s rapid rise is tied to Tencent’s strategic investments and its implications for privacy and security. With Tencent controlling a significant stake in Discord, we explore the potential geopolitical influence of China’s involvement in global communication platforms. From Discord's data-sharing practices to the political ambitions of the Chinese Communist Party, this episode reveals how Discord’s user data could be shaping the future of digital surveillance, international relations, and global power.
