Discord Still Awaiting Take-Two Subpoena Over GTA 6 Leaks
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Discord confirms it has not yet received a legal subpoena from Take-Two regarding GTA 6 leaks, promising to review the scope of any requests carefully. The broad nature of the publisher's data demands has raised privacy concerns among users across the platform.
As reported by Rock Paper Shotgun, Take-Two Interactive has initiated legal steps to track down the sources behind the ongoing Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks by filing subpoenas directed at Microsoft and Discord. While the hunt for the culprits ramps up, Discord marketing director Ryan Rigney recently clarified that the platform has not yet received any official paperwork from the publisher. Rigney noted via social media that the team will carefully evaluate the validity and scope of any requests if and when they arrive.
The scope of the requested data has sparked plenty of community concern regarding user privacy. According to reports, the legal requests ask for extensive identifying information associated with members across specific servers, including account IDs, registration emails, IP addresses, phone numbers, and linked external accounts. Observers note that such broad requests risk sweeping up vast amounts of personal data from everyday players who have no connection to the actual security breaches.
Reactions from the targeted tech giants have highlighted different corporate priorities in these high-profile copyright battles. Microsoft has signaled full cooperation with Rockstar Games to protect intellectual property, aligning closely with the publisher. Meanwhile, Discord faces a trickier path given its history of handling external legal demands, leaving the community watching closely to see how the platform balances user data protection with legal compliance as the investigation unfolds.
