France CARF Vote + Discord Privacy: Crypto & Digital Data Under Pressure
France's Senate adopted the OECD CARF agreement, meaning crypto transaction data (names, addresses, tax IDs) will be auto-shared with 77 jurisdictions starting 2027. Separately, Discord will make public server messages Google-searchable from mid-December, enabled by default.
What we know
An account on X reported that the French Senate voted to adopt the CARF (Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework), with data collected retroactively from January 1, 2026 and first exchanges with 77 jurisdictions scheduled for 2027. The next step is the Assemblée Nationale. This is part of a global push for crypto transaction transparency. On the digital privacy front, another account on X issued a widely shared warning (1.45M views, 4,454 RTs) that Discord will begin making public server messages searchable on Google and other search engines from mid-December — the feature is ON by default in most regions, with opt-out available in User Settings → Data.
