We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Parler got owned in their dying stages - They dumped EVERYTHING including media with unscrubbed metadata [up: see threadmark for accurate summary]
- Thread starter Veliladon
- Start date
I'm guessing there are going to be a lot of law enforcement, lawyers, and FBI on Parler.
Regarding possible doxxing: enable 2FA on everything, change passwords on everything if they're using the same password as on Parler
If they posted terrorist threats, lol get rekt
Even if it were secure, having an account has to put you on some list somewhere by the feds.
Exactly my point, it's a public forum so there's no expectation of privacy. After the Old Place started to collapse and people were talking about their DMs being read, I figured those aren't safe either. But if somebody wants to look through my 2766 posts for some tasty tidbit they are welcome. Even *I* don't have the patience for that and I'm the one who made them.
Should just have them play it, if they aren't converted after that they're clearly Igarashi fanboys.
This Gizmodo story has a lot of info and I highly suggest the OP update because the tweet in the OP is borderline nonsense
Every Deleted Parler Post, Many With Users' Location Data, Has Been Archived
In the wake of the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by scores of President Trump’s supporters, a lone researcher began an effort to catalogue the posts of social media users across Parler, a platform founded to provide conservative users a safe haven for uninhibited “free speech” — but...gizmodo.com
TL;DR they reverse engineered the API and are using Docker to archive
LOL, they wanted to have some influencer model:
Prominent users would be tapped to post organic-looking posts promoting outside companies and products. Users could then "boycott" the influencers they didn't like. On Tuesday, @donk_enby posted images of what the influencer panel looked like, as well as a function that enabled Parler to conceal the capability from certain users.
I can't even guess how many active duty law enforcement officers are on there... and I don't mean conducting a sting.
Well, it could happen to any website. But this place is too small and inconsequential for a hack and considering it runs on xenforo, basic protections should be in place so it wouldn't be as easily done. Basically this, and most similar forums are too boring to waste time on.
Edit: lmao I just read what actually happened. No, no it could not happen to any other website with a sane sysop. Fucking hell hahahahahahahah

Gonna take a wild guess they meant defamation, but they spelt it wrong lmao.
Any sane administrator of a site would instantly block the api access and apps.
Parler - Where Free Speech Thrives
The world's premier free speech social media platform. Celebrate your right to listen, think and speak freely. Web, iOS & Android.
If they can't pinpoint that Dracula's second phase is actually the witch Drolta Tzuentes, they're not real Bloodlines fans!!
Fake account used to troll MAGA.People on Parler were worse than on Twitter lmao
They probably did already, and deleting from AWS will be much the same as deleted from Parler, so still in a bucket with status set to inactive. donk_enby's work means everyone can have fun with the data though!
I ain't clicking that link.Parler - Where Free Speech Thrives

(for those who do, what's going on over there?)
I don't know what's involved in making an account. I think if you just made a baseline account to troll or watch, you shouldn't really worry too much.
That said, I'd never upload personal data onto a site like that. Scanning a Drivers License? Say what now?
"If you ask a cop if they are a cop they have to tell you!"they got it covered, sorry FBI, too late
Something was off when the process of joining the site was asking for very personal info. Now the user base lives are going to be a nightmare in a lot of directions.
All Parler user data is being downloaded as we speak!

Another explanation on what happened
This is the Swamp bring drained.
another campaign promise hopefully to be upheld.
lol these people really think this shit works?they got it covered, sorry FBI, too late
Resetera doesn't:
- Store digitized images of its user's government-issued IDs.
- Foment fucking terrorism.
I personally know people who did the same on facebook and whatsapp not so long ago
Hilarious and incredible...is this really the source of why these idiots got put on no-fly lists so quickly?
If hackers want my thoughts on suspected Elden Ring concept art, they're welcome to it.
Lmao. Man. I'm not surprised people who believe in election fraud and trump winning have zero clue this does nothing legally for them.they got it covered, sorry FBI, too late
Stories like this give me cold sweats every time I think about programming anything internet facing. Having one of my professors rip through what i thought was a decently secured schoolwork API program was a huge wake up call on how hard this shit is.
With said I am laughing my ass off at this and these disclaimers people think will do anything.
