Apparently Parler is so incompetent that literally everything got exposed. Even "deleted" posts.

@matrix Lord have mercy. I’m honestly not worried so much about the info being made available to intelligence, i assume they would catch up to a lot of people anyway, but if that information is out there, it could get into the hands of a LOT of bad actors.

@matrix What a terrible "mistake". How did they manage to "accidentally" endanger their entire userbase like this? How "irresponsible".

@matrix
You know what's fun?

The very people scraping parler would be the same people crying about their privacy if it was being done to them

@matrix wait, but is the drivers license for verified accounts true?

Even so, in other circumstances people would blame the hackers for being shitty, but since it's Parler, I'm sure they're being praised, because it's 2021 and everything old is Orwell again.

Oh and also, after you got the verified badge, you could just change your name and picture to someone else's.

The verified badge stays.

@r000t @djsumdog @matrix people were changing their pfp on birdsite to trump. some of them trump with a moustache. was pretty funny.
@matrix Guess it's a good thing i never touched that honey pot.

@matrix I despised all these trendy right wing alternative platforms more and more by the day. When everyone started getting hyped on Parler during the election, I looked into the Fediverse and decided to use it instead. Like really, how the hell do you trust some random developer with your FULL ID?

And think of how many people downloaded as many TB as they could before their either ran out of space or ran out of time

AWS charges like $50/TB at the lowest priced regions.
