Domain(s) to review. Separate them by comma.

cdn.discordapp.com

Rationale for removing, adding, or recategorizing.

This domain is a CDN for user content and other assets, and unlike the root domain it isn't used for tracking,

Where domain(s) observed. Separate them by comma.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This issue is currently under review.

@patjack the commit actually removes all discord.com and discordapp.com references it is supposed to only allow cdn.discordapp.com not to be considered as a tracker

And I would also argue that the cdn can host a tracking pixel which would allow other discordapp.com subdomain to use it Those I would revert that commit.

@frntn:

in theory every domain can host a tracking pixel, but that doesn't mean there's any reason for it to - especially since Discord doesn't track you across the web.
