I will be voting against for similar concerns @pedrob raised. I’m not sure the DAO is really one to have say over this, as ultimately the DAO is (as far as I’m aware) not in control of the discord channel. And probably more importantly the DAO shouldn’t really be making decisions for individual users privacy.
A favourable snapshot vote will give the foundation the permission to give us read access to
the Discourse API and public Discord channels.
I guess maybe it’s this line that confuses me… if the foundation is the one with the permissions why does the DAO need to be involved at all? I get it as a general sentiment check, but presumably there will be people in the Discord who don’t have voting power that would not have a say. For public channels I don’t see an issue, as privacy isn’t expected but from what others have said it seems the Discord has different rules on this.
All said, I’m not opposed to the broad concept. It seems like it can provide valuable data at no cost - which is great! I guess the question becomes is this something that can be done with publicly available information? Or is there a way users can Opt-In to the Discord so only those who elect to do this can participate.
Edit: I see there is still a day to vote, I’ll hold on the vote until tomorrow incase additional info comes to light
