That change applies to plugins so people cannot abuse it and spam players. When you send a chat message it is going through their servers and they can do anything they want with it. Even if it’s “private” that just means it is only visible to the person you sent it to in game but it’s still going through the game server.
ya
ofc it goes through a “server”
&
same in google case…
also in TIKTOK case…
once the public realized there private/privacy were seen by individuals or non gov-officials(still … look at china & USA over TIKTOK)
fatass lawsuits & .GOV were involved in it
main reason to my knowledge was the censern for minor privacy
& other privacy reasons involving adults or privacy in general…
