Truly some rookie shit here.
I always felt that fundamentally it was a force for good.

Twitter allowed themselves to be social engineered into giving the keys to the blue check mark castle.
That's actually far worse than this.
Why bring that up? In this country people are only concerned with half the bad shit that happens. They tend to look the other way / forget / let shit slide for the other half.Quote:

Do they really? I downloaded it one day just to see what it was and I didn’t get asked for any of that. I stayed for 15 minutes and realized i really couldn’t get a feel for anything, so I assume they ask for photo ID and SSN if you want to start adding people or get people’s feeds?Quote:

It made me uncomfortable because I wanted to just check it out but the moment you sign up, it like sent out a preprogrammed intro asking for friends or saying you just joined and invited conversation. I was just there to people watch and deleted app ten minutes after downloading it. .
I still think Parler can monetize your data simultaneously with the thieves.Quote:

Yes. Really. For example, you want to send a DM? You can't until you upload your ID (and send them a selfie lol).Quote:

ok
i cant breath
kirtaner
from 420chan
is responsible for the breach.
also there is a fucking ton of PII and worse on parler's db that was aggregated from other sites and its about to be a huge, huge deal.
rebecca mercer yall.
Makes sense why I couldn’t really see much. Obviously I would have never done that. I had just saw a few people losing their shit and saying they went to parler, so I assumed it would be amusing to read.Quote:

Also this is no defense of Parler.
I don't even have an account there. Not into echo chambers.

I'm sure you can decipher it.
If not, I edited the post to fix it now.

This was far worse than Parler's screwup in several ways.

So they apparently required all kinds of intrusive "verification" info, which has now come back to bite them. I never tried to sign up, so I never got to see specifically what they asked for. The whole "we need to totally verify you're a real person before you are validated here" tends to be code for "we want to harvest your info and data", and that's always a big no from me.
That's not the only reason I stayed away from Parler. As I said, it looked like a weak Twitter knockoff and an echo chamber. While the left tends to be more obsessed with isolating themselves from the "evils" of the other side, some of the right are also guilty of this, and I want no part of it.

If Twitter was doing a bang-up job with security, and then right-wing Twitter knockoff Parler tried to compete and laughably bungled security, such derision would be warranted -- at least on this limited scale.
However, "omg omg look how incompetent Parler's security was, lol dumb conservatives" obviously begs for a response pointing out that Twitter was even dumber on the security front. Since one is a knockoff of the other, this was very relevant.
Don’t shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me.
From the day Facebook and Twitter entered the public consciousness I have consistently & without exception characterized them as evil.
Parler deserves equal time for ridicule

No, this isn't about "the right" in any sort of big picture, it is very specific to Parler and the extreme brand of shitheads it attracts, which is to say, the type of far right morons that even you wouldn;t want to be associated with, mostly. The worst of the conspiracy theorists, the QAnon community, people who are SO FUCKING SURE, STILL, that this election was stolen, etc. I.E., people who DO need a very tightly controlled echo chamber, and who hand over their info to join a "free speech" site that doesn;t even allow the free speech it claims to stand for.Quote:

But its your board obv, you talk about what you want. I won;t complain too much. Just some.
Yeah if you click on that thread (which is now 10 days old, and before the hack), you get a lot of far-fetched Russian conspiracy nonsense because the dude found some Russian accounts on Parler.Quote:

also,
Yes, we know, Dave. Russians make fake accounts on US social media to influence elections. Groundbreaking reporting! Welcome to 2016!
But Dave was alleging in these tweets that Russia is basically funding this.
Then at the end, he tweets, "Boom. @WSJ has just confirmed that the Mercers and their hedge fund are behind Parler. This is Rupert Murdoch’s outfit, mind you. Now to dig into Psyclone and Market-Rithm, per @VickerySec research."
Boom? That just disproved your conspiracy theories. Instead, it seems to be funded by a US family which gave heavily to conservative causes over the past 5 years. Yawn.
So conservatives were funding a conservative version of Twitter? Shocking, I tell you!
Great political exposure from sonatine, as per usual.
cool ill be sure to tell the professional disinfo tracker with tens of thousands of followers and years of experience lecturing and educating on the subject that a .. [ checks notes ] alt-right poker player who won a bracelet in a limit holdem event 25 years ago just ended his whole career.
Of course this thread is about "the right".Quote:

Do you think sonatine would have entitled the thread "lmao parler hacked" if it were a left-wing hangout?
I'm all for laughing at incompetence of arrogant tech ventures, and Parler is deserving of such derision here. However, the derision should be aimed at Parler itself, and not being symbolic that conservatives in general are incompetent. That's the obvious point of this thread.
People have been decrying twitter for YEARS now. On a massive scale.Quote:

So when has this "professional disinfo tracker" exposed disinfo attempts from the left?Quote:

Parler doesn;t attract conservatives. They attract radicals and retards and racists and the people who rile them up and make money off them, and THEY are generally incompetant. THAT is the obvious point of this thread.Quote:
