Use 2FA that is already set up when exporting user data

Why is its Discord's policy to punish people who want to see what data Discord collects on them, by pushing their data to the web in plaintext even if the user has both password and 2FA already enabled?

New suggestion: don't do this.

    Amazingly when I asked for help to stop this or close the link, the ticket support system keeps closing my tickets without assistance. As a user, given the plaintext nature of this and that I have 2FA and that the bot response was that my concern was a policy issue and thus automatically closed the ticket (it also appears that a person looked at it to manually close it again without response when I reopened it), this appears to be malicious.

    Not even disabling the account will pause the web access. I will delete the account with right to be forgotten, and expect it to close the link, but what I am guessing will happen is that this feedback and my tickets will just be deleted and it will not my resolve the issue.

    New suggestion: don't do this?

     

    Edit:

    Confirmed, deleting account doesn't even work. Deleting the account takes 14 days. I guess that is better than 30 days that is Discord's policy of posting data online insecurely.

    All because I was curious what data discord collects.

    It is mostly that I find this disrespectful. I was relatively happy with discord, but I strongly recommend people find alternatives now.
