Danny boi you got some splaining to do on how you could just jump on board with this sort of investment. This doesn't look good for people on Parler.
Can't blame him for promoting it. Boigino has significant ownership in Parler, but he's no techno-expert.
I would expect greater investigation into a company from someone who has a history like he does
...data including deleted posts, because (according to their Twitter post) Parler did not actually delete posts when they were removed, but simply removed the pointer to that post. This is actually a fairly common practice in many scenarios, as the data is for all practical purposes “inaccessible” to users while doing this.
According to the security researchers, video and image data still has EXIF data (metadata of things like time, date, and location), and some of the other data they've been able to gather is the Verified Accounts documents — on Parler, users that are verified have done so by uploading photos of their government IDs.
The researchers said that this data could be useful to law enforcement who want to identify the people that took part in the violence in Washington on January 6.
Parler was a data collection site the entire time and gave the data away to the govt?
NSA has everything already. Amazon has it because they hosted it. But it seems that anyone from outside can have it too -- like this "researcher."
Right, now the data can be given to police and everyone can be doxxed without any search warrants required.
This should surprise no one. Actual or false reports of leaks (hacks) were predictable because this is what the Globalists do.
I'm not saying this is Parler's fault - Parler may be what it portends to be, but, IMO, there were also red flags from its inception.
They're calling January 6th an attack now?? Please
Chuck Schumer compared it to Pearl Harbor. AOC said half of Congress may have been killed by the rioters. MSM is even worse.
Democrats also project what they do to others. Russian collusion? They did it. Now insurrection and coup? They are doing it.
I guess this teaches us to be careful of what we say... on any platform.
