I've been suspicious of Parler from day 1. I believe it was a honeypot meant to collect information and create databases. The reasons are bullshit, Bongino makes a ton of money playing his part. Parler was meant to create a database of people with tendencies to oppose the democrat rule and put them on lists and tie their real names to them. The information needed to sign up for Parler was like applying for a credit card.
You think that it would have got where it was if it wasn't controlled? You think Amazon wouldn't have rushed in to virtue signal with every other big tech company and slam down parler within an hour like Apple and Google? No. It's there for a reason.
I really hated the fact that it needed a phone number. Never sounded kosher to me
They wanted to make absolutely sure they were getting the right person. You were literally signing your name to everything you posted, liked or even looked at. It was always going to be used against people. They won't make it obvious, they'l have the servers shut down and Amazon will hand the data over to the FBI or somebody for use in their investigations. Boy wouldn't you know it, they've now get the names and addresses of tens of thousands of new "terrorists"
C ant they just track your ip address without email and do the same tracking?
Yes, but it gives them a lot less to work with. Parler doesn't just require an email address, it requires a phone number. The email can track it back to a certain IP for the majority of people which can point to a physical address. The phone number has an actual name and address tied to it. Gives them more assurance as to exactly who somebody is. It's not about safety or gatekeeping, it's about data collection. People are far too willing to give away tons of information or permissions on their phones these day.
