Copy-Text_Auditing

TheNikitis
Can we add a feature to record who copies text from discord using the copy text menu? We have sensitive information that keeps getting taken from our servers against our rules, and we need a way to track them. Or make it a permission that can be set to a group. Would work like, User right-clicks or hits Ctrl+C while text is highlighted in Discord and in focus, an audit log could flag certain keywords record the username who is doing the copy. Make it so it's on by default but must be turned on to certain channels

    I am definitely all in for catching anyone who leaks information. I also don't think you really need to ask permission to do whatever it takes to catch those who are leaking information. Post RV everyone will feel safer if all leakers have been dispatched.

    Also make it so if a user has a text chat room selected, the information is blotted out when screenshot'ed, much like when you have a protected email in outlook.

    I see several problems with this feature request.

    1. Cross platform compatibility
    2. A near infinite amount of bypasses / workarounds
    3. Invasion of user privacy

    Cross Platform Compatibility

    If Discord wanted to add clipboard & screenshot monitoring, they would have to take into account all of the different platforms that Discord runs on. (Mac, Windows, IOS, Android, Linux). They would have to spend weeks developing hacky methods for each and every platform. Ask any software developer if this task would be easy, their answer will be "no. not at all.".

    And that leads me to my second point:

    Bypasses and Workarounds

    Even if Discord managed to implement copy & screenshot protection, there would inevitably be workarounds. Anyone with a bit of technological knowledge could figure several methods of overcoming this screenshot protection feature. For example: using 3rd party screen-shooting software OR using screen recording software (like OBS). Even if Discord could detect if those applications are running, you could always run discord in a sandboxed environment all-together. Like a Virtual Machine. It doesn't take a genius to come up with possible workarounds that would work.

    Invasion of User Privacy

    Why should Discord monitor my clipboard and screenshots? It has no good reason to. It should only access my clipboard when I tell it to. I personally see this as shady, and unnecessary. A clipboard monitoring system is not unlike malware.

    Although I can see why you would want a feature like this. But I'm telling you, this would not fix the problem, and would likely cause a large community backlash.

     

    Cheers.
