4.4 (?) Privacy and Surveillance
Download a copy of the platform’s Terms of Service (ToS) and Privacy Policy and, as a learning pod, see what you can find out about how the platform uses your data and/or tracks your movements. This will not be the most fun you’ve had. Here are some resources to help you comb through the documents:

✔️ I read the Terms of Service, so that you don’t have to
✔️ Terms of Service; Didn’t Read
@pipercote
Add the following to your platform’s page in the course book:
4.4.1. Discord's ToS and Privacy Policy

• a link to your platform’s ToS and Privacy Policy
  4.4.2. Key Takeaways from Examining Discord's ToS and Privacy Policy
• your key takeaways from your examination of your platform’s ToS and Privacy Policy

Hello learning pod 4 @LeoM202 @pipercote @michellemylrea @rumorton

I've incorporated your pull request into the course site, and there are some formatting glitches. This is to be expected...so no worries!

I'll follow up with another commit showing how I fixed it. Thanks for your work!
