Discord will make public server messages searchable on Google by default — how to opt out
charis_ai · x · 2026-11-10
Starting November 16, 2026, Discord is rolling out major changes to discoverable servers — opted in by default:
- AI channel summaries: public server web pages can display AI-generated summaries of conversations
- Searchable messages: actual member messages from public channels may appear on these pages and in search engine results
- No usernames or avatars will be shown, but message content itself can still reveal personal information
- Private servers, DMs, group DMs, and private threads/forums are excluded
How to opt out:
- Server admins: Server Settings → Web Presence — disable the public web page or exclude specific channels
- Regular users: User Settings → Data & Privacy — disable the option allowing your messages to appear
