Absolutely vile, and that's just the headlines lol imagine the user created content
Does this kind of hacking keep happening to those sites because they are very frequently targeted, or is this because they have shit security?

The latter, I'm pretty sure. You have to think sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, hell stuff like NBCNews.com are targeted frequently.
This has been a really good read, thanks!
Those are tame compared to some of the stuff I saw shared on Facebook during the Obama years. I unfollowed people before finally quitting Facebook altogether.
There's a term in the IT industry about people knowing just enough to get themselves in trouble. Well, the people that started Gab and Parler knew just enough to start a website, but not to keep it secure.
Pfffffft. Not even trying with the excuse.

When will I get to search for the posts of my second cousin-in-law? She quit Facebook last October after her posts about Hillary drinking children's blood kept getting taken down, and I need to know exactly how crazy she got on Gab/Parler in case she and my second cousin ever get back together!
