<p>Brave Browser also contains in-built privacy protections such as HTTPS Everywhere, AdBlock, cookie blocking, script blocking, and fingerprinting protections - that are configurable site by site. This is commendable of course, but in the end, uMatrix outclasses them. Trackers, for example, easily avoid pure AdBlock (so you will be tracked by Facebook and such), and binary script blocking breaks sites. Nice effort on Brave's part though, and the fingerprinting protection I don't think is found in any other browser (but I didn't confirm if it actually works). <p>Brave Browser also contains in-built privacy protections such as HTTPS Everywhere, AdBlock, cookie blocking, script blocking, and fingerprinting protections - that are configurable site by site.

<p> Está confirmado que discord tiene un monitor para ver los procesor que que corren en tu sistema operativo. Este spyware es conocido como "Listador de procesos"
Además, Discord no confirma que recopila la siguiente información, pero se sabe que por defecto es recopilada: Se usa mas que nada para grabar tus habitos de uso de programas.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Un registro de todos los programas abiertos en tu ordenador</li>
</ul>
<p>
Toda la información anteriormente mencionada
podría estar siendo registrada por lo siguiente: Al recoger
tu dirección IP, Discord puede rastrear tu localización aproximada (la precisión
depende de tu país). Discord también puede saber qué dispositivos usas, ya que
los identifica de forma única, y también sabe cuán seguido los utilizas, ya que
analiza tus hábitos de uso (Discord siempre se está ejecutando en segundo plano para
poder recibir mensajes). Discord también sabe todas las interacciones que realizas
con otros usuarios porque registra todas tus conversaciones de texto y voz, así como
las imágenes que envías. Por lo tanto, ninguna de tus conversaciones en Discord
es privada. Su Política de Privacidad es muy explícita y contiene frases como "incluyendo,
pero no limitándose a...", lo que es una confirmación de que su aplicación de mensajería
contiene más spyware del que mencionan, el cual no es notificado al usuario.
</p>
<h3>Discord se integra con otras plataformas de spyware</h3>
<p>
Discord contiene una caracterísitca conocida como "integración con redes sociales".
Esto permite al usuario sincronizar su identidad en Discord con su identidad
en otras plataformas, como Facebook y Twitter. En la Política de Privacidad de
Discord<sup><a href="#1">[1]</a></sup>, se confirma que si optas por usar esta
característica, Discord obtendrá un nivel de acceso no revelado a tu información en
las redes sociales que elijas sincronizar.
</p>
<h3>Discord obtiene un listado de procesos en tu dispositivo</h3>
<p>
Discord monitorea los procesos abiertos en tu sistema operativo.
Esta forma de spyware se conoce como "<i>process logger</i>" en inglés, y
es usada generalmente para recopilar tus hábitos de uso. Esto fue confirmado por
el mismo Director de Tecnología (CTO) de Discord en un hilo de Reddit.<sup><a href="#2">[2]</a></sup>
En ese hilo, el CTO mencionó que esta característica espía es obligatoria para
brindar varios servicios de la plataforma. Según el CTO y un ingeniero de Discord,
los listados de procesos en los dispositivos de los usuarios no son registrados.
</p>
<p>
Se llevó a acabo un procedimiento para probar si Discord de verdad no registra los procesos. Esto fue hecho usando
procmon el día 4 de abril de 2019, y las opciones de Discord
"Usar mis datos para personalizar mi experiencia" y "Mostrar el juego en curso como una notifación" fueron
desactivadas. Resultó que Discord <font color=lime><b>NO</b></font> registró todos los procesos con esa configuración.
Sin embargo, cuando la opción "Mostrar el juego en curso como una notifación" fue activada, el comportamiento
descrito en <sup><a href="#2">[2]</a></sup> fue replicado. Puedes ver el comportamiento del process logger aquí:
</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="../images/discord_process_logging.png" alt="Listado de procesos de Discord como se mencionó en [2], confirmado por procmon">
<p>
Así que esta característica de spyware <font color=lime><b>puede ser deshabilitada en Discord.</b></font> Sin embargo, por la
naturaleza del software privativo, no es posible saber cuánta información es enviada a los servidores de Discord cuando
el process logger está activado, pero al menos se puede desactivar.
</p>
<h3>Discord usa el listado de procesos para fines publicitarios</h3>
<p>
Discord lo muestra así aquí:
</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="../images/discord_data.png" alt="Uso de los procesos que Discord recopila">
<p>
Los procesos de los dispositivos de los usuarios que Discord registra en sus servidores son usados como una forma
de telemetría (spyware), y eso resuelve la especulación de por qué el process logger existe en primer lugar. Discord
confirma que esta característica es usada para mostrar publicidad a los usuarios.<sup><a href="#8">[8]</a></sup> Lo que
lleva a la conclusión de que <font color=red><b>Discord recopila tus programas abiertos para construir modelos estadísticos
sobre qué programas te interesan y podrías comprar en el futuro</b></font>
</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="../images/discord_2.png" alt="Discord confirma que tus procesos son usados para publicidad">
<h3>Discord intenta forzar a sus usuarios a dar sus números de teléfono</h3>
<p>
Discord bloqueará a los usuarios y no los dejará continuar usando sus servicios si ellos no dan su número de teléfono o
contactan al servicio a cliente de Discord. Este tipo de características están diseñadas para extraer información sensible
de los usuarios (en este caso, sus números de teléfono). La razón por la que bloquean a los usuarios no se sabe.
</p>
<img class="screenshot" src="../images/discord_verify.png" alt="Verificación por móvil de Discord">
<h3>Discord recibe solicitudes gubernamentales para acceder a tu información</h3>
<p>
Discord confirmó en un email<sup><a href="#6">[6]</a></sup> que recibe solicitudes gubernamentales para
obtener información. De esta forma sabemos que los gobiernos tienen acceso potencial a toda
la información que Discord recopila sobre ti. Puedes leer una copia del email <a href="https://spyware.neocities.o../images/discord%20government%20requests.png">aquí</a> en caso de que el enlace original sea borrado.

<h2>Especulación sobre el futuro de Discord</h2>
<p>
No se sabe si Discord está o no vendiendo información. Actualmente Discord ha sido capaz de recaudar
capital de inversión, lo que ha estado cubriendo todos sus costos de operación. Sin embargo, Discord, como
cualquier otra compañía, no existirá en un constante estado de dependencia de la inversión.
Discord, tarde o temprano, tendrá que moverse de su actual modelo de negocios a otro que genere ingresos
valiéndose de los usuarios de su plataforma.
</p> </p>
<p> <p>
Por ahora Discord tiene varias formas de hacer dinero. Puede vender características Esto ha sido confirmado por el CTO de Discord en un hilo de Reddit<sup><a href="#2">[2]</a></sup>
con Discord Nitro<sup><a href="#5">[5]</a></sup>, o puede hacer dinero con su tienda de juegos que En el mismo hilo, el CTO admite que es obligatorio este spyware y no puede ser removido. El CTO y un ingeniero de Discord dice que no es spyware, pero no puede ser confirmado.
compite con <a href="../articles/steam.html">Steam</a>. Sin embargo, esas dos fuentes de ingresos no
podrían ser suficiente. Discord ha recaudado $279.3 millones de dólares para mantener
su plataforma<sup><a href="#4">[4]</a></sup>, así tiene que generar más que esa cantidad.
</p>
<p>
Si Discord no es capaz de satisfacer su obligación con sus inversores, tiene la opción de vender datos de los
usuarios a anunciantes, y de hecho, ya está minando datos de los usuarios para su sistema de recomendaciones<sup><a href="#8">[8]</a></sup>, lo que significa que ya está construyendo una base datos valiosa y lucrativa para los anunciantes. Discord tiene
130 millones de usuarios<sup><a href="#7">[7]</a></sup>, así que puede producir modelos estadísticos de los juegos
que cada usuario posee, juega y quiere jugar/comprar. Esa es información increíblemente valiosa que Discord podría
vender en caso de no poder cumplir con sus obligaciones con los inversores. Sin embargo, si su tienda se vuelve
existosa, podría no tener necesidad de vender datos, pero si se mete en problemas financieros, es muy probable que se
vea forzada a vender datos.
</p> </p>
<h3>La mayoria de ingresos de discord viene de vender datos.</h3>
<p>
Discord esta esclusivamente confiado en la informacion que los usuarios generan. Esto significa que la mayor fuente de ingresos es recolectar datos de usuarios, otras fuentes son secundiaria. Discord tiene 4,2 millones de usuarios en su plataforma<sup><a href="#3">[3]</a></sup> sin otras inversiones, esto es casi toda el dinero generado por la mineria de datos de sus usuarios, discord tiene $129 millones de dolares en inversion <sup><a href="#4">[4]</a></sup> desde 2012. Discord tiene 45 millones de usuario, por lo que pueden recolectar MUCHISIMOS datos. El "Principal" medio de llegada de Ingresos de discord es Nitro<sup><a href="#5">[5]</a></sup> realisticamente, no puede ser la principal
fuente de ingresos de discord, especialmente por que Nitro es relativamente reciente.</p>
<h3>Discord recibe peticiones de gobierno para tu informacion</h3>
<p>
Discord ha confirmado de una de sus correspondencia de E-mail <sup><a href="#6">[6]</a></sup> donde confirma que recibe peticiones del gobierno de informacion, asi que podemos saber que el gobierno tiene toda la informacion que Discord ha recolectado de ti <a href="https://spyware.neocities.org/images/discord%20government%20requests.png">aqui</a>
por si el link muere.

Iridium is a privacy-based fork of Google Chrome. From their website: "All modifications enhance the privacy of the user and make sure that the latest and best secure technologies are used.

Unlike other browsers of its kind, this one is fully featured (has all the addons that are available for Chrome), and so is recommended for everyday usage.
