Disclaimer:

This Bot, while being cool, may run you the risk of users executing their GDPR rights suing you for fines, since they never permitted you to use their messages. I Am Not liable If you do choose to deploy it. If someone does lawsuit you it is on YOU, Also in the unlikely event this causes your computer/server/machine/fridge to blow up it's also on you. I maintain no liability for what ever happens. It is always recommended to look through any scripts / stuff you download.
