Parler HAcked?

[Milchshake]

I got that schadenfreude feeling after reading this. The app looked shady from the start. Hw could people addicted to outrage policitcs and fake news fall for such an obvious honey trap?

Who hacked Parler? Internet jokes 'everyone's password was MAGA2020' as app's database screenshot circulates
On Tuesday, November 24, a screenshot of Parler database circulated on the Internet. In no time, people realised that the microblogging app with White House users and also with a significant user base of President Donald Trump's supporters, conservatives and right-wing extremists got hacked. Parler was launched in 2018, as a social networking website for the conservatives. Journalists have described it as an alternative for Twitter, the service is quite popular among the people who have been banned from the regular social media.

As soon as the screenshot was widely shared, people started reacting to it. Data scientist Kevin Abosch said, "I've seen what looks like legit proof of 5000 compromised Parler accounts including DM's of some well-known figures. Hackers decompiled the app, zero day exploit etc.. I wish I could unsee what I've seen." Another wrote, "So we're all clear that Parler was just a giant blackmail operation for the Mercers so they could get some additional dirty laundry on various right wing politicians and dipshits then? #ParlerHacked."

Fuck me running that is some beautiful shit right there. Willful ignorance exploited and used against racist fucks? Win, win, and a slam dunk.

I'm really hoping the next season of Succession answers that very question. Maybe there's a cousin Greg irl.

I've seen conflicting reports. Some claiming it was and others saying it wasn't and what is floating around was from like June or July.

[Kathranis]

Right now I'm not seeing anything credible pointing to it being true, but I look forward to career ending leaks if they do surface.

It’s not true. I’d be very surprised if they were...

I made a throwaway Parler account with a throwaway password earlier this week, and honestly I would not be surprised if it was hacked. The app, at the very least, is worse than what I saw kids making in college app classes - and not the app classes for CS kids, but the app classes for journalism kids with a Mac that doesn't get more advanced than buttons and text labels. It's a really crappy app.

It's a safe space for conservatives. Which is pretty fucking ironic from the "fuck your feelings" crowd.

Pretty sure Cloe is the Chicken Drummer of commenting: Just post a comment then go on to the next thread.

Actually no.

A safe space is a place that bans specific groups from having a platform. Parler doesn't ban groups. Parler is the exact opposite of a safe space. It welcomes anyone to have a platform. The criticism of Parler is that it doesn't ban groups.

It’s a safe space for alt right snowflakes.

[Kokolums]

It’s a safe space for alt right snowflakes.

A safe space for alt right snowflakes would be outright banning anyone that isn't alt right. There have been no reports of this from Parler. They just accept anyone.

Objection! Bullshit.
