70,000 Discord Users Now Eligible For Jury Duty

It appears roughly 70,000 denizens of the popular voice-and-text chat platform Discord have inadvertently found themselves elevated to a new tier of civic responsibility. Their recent, rather public, eligibility for Jury Duty stems not from a newfound passion for justice, but from the somewhat less inspiring circumstance of their government-issued identification being, shall we say, widely distributed. One might call it an innovative approach to citizen engagement.

Indeed, while many might lament the exposure of sensitive personal data, imagine the sheer relief for court administrators struggling to fill those notoriously unappealing juror seats. Who needs random selection when you have a pre-vetted pool of individuals whose *bona fides* have been helpfully authenticated by an unforeseen digital incident? It’s a bold new era for municipal transparency, where the inconvenience of a data breach becomes merely a bureaucratic shortcut. Perhaps this will inspire other platforms to similarly "contribute" to the public good.
