Privacy Issue! Only option to delete old chats = Delete Account!

Hello, I recently discovered that unlike any chat platform in the WORLD, discord does not allow users to delete conversations. This is a big privacy-security issue. If someone managed to get hold of one of my devices, or to get into one of my accounts, then they could read every conversation that I have had on discord. If I close the conversation, they only need to reopen it.

There is a thing called The Data Protection Act. which says that if any company is holding any information about a person, which the person would like to have deleted, then the company must comply with the request for deletion.

I should not be forced to make a second account, or find a trustworthy friend to transfer my server ownerships to, and delete the whole account, in order to clear old PRIVATE chats away.

I think it is disgraceful that you have setup the app in this way, and I recommend that you prioritise above all other developments, the immediate implementation of a delete conversation function which would allow users to permanently delete old Private conversations. I also advise that you release the update within a week.

Thanks
