Can you people please tell me if my assumptions are correct and give me some advice on how to handle my Discord messages?
There a 3 types of evidence for Discord messages I am aware off:
- The actual message
- A screenshot off the message
- A bot log
I have two questions regarding them, that are very interconnected:
- Is there a way to reach and delete all of my Discord messages, even from server’s I got banned from?
- A screenshot’s of Discord messages a problem? I think that even before image AI was a thing, people with a little bit of picture editing skills, could easily fake screenshot’s, and since we have AI that can just generate such screenshots, every screenshot would be easy to deny. Am I right or do I miss something with that?
- What about Discord bots that store messages for moderation purposes, do they delete them after a time? And how strong would Bot logs count as evidence for something?
- Could I legally force admins to delete screenshots and bot logs of my messages?
With plausible deniable I am not only referring to something being just deniable in court but also in social context or towards an employer.
