Discord will allow Google to access more than 63,000 public servers to appear in search results

Many video game platforms also have a presence in Discorda popular communications software that has gained popularity as a social network. Now the big video game players also include their information in this new social network, making it difficult for search engines like Google to access their content. But starting in December, Discord has announced that it will open these communications so they can be tracked and appear in search results on the big internet engines.

Discord will allow Google to index conversations from 63,000 public servers

The company has announced that, despite requiring a user to use Discord, it will allow Google access to 63,000 public servants. These servers are those that have more than 1,000 members, and their conversations will become part of a web page that can be crawled by search engines such as Google.

From November 16Discord will offer summaries through Artificial Intelligence of these conversations from public channels, so that by mid-December they appear on web pages individually and thus can be detected by Google and included in web search results. As you might expect, messages will not include any name, avatar, or user ID.

Users will be able to exclude their conversations from Google results

In addition to this, users can also opt out of this feature, a feature that is left to administrators. These can exclude individual channels and activate or deactivate the summary function or appearance in Google results. Individual users can also restrict their conversations from appearing through individual privacy settings, although this will be limited to some regions.

Discord has already tested this in large communities, using some admin and moderator conversations.
