If I'm understanding the thread on twitter correctly, I'm admittedly not as good with linux, and OSINT tool readouts as I should be, but it appears they're emulating it. It sounds like they're going to host the data, and I'm a bit curious if they'll do it in just a searchable format or emulate the app without any restrictions on what data is shown. Just show it all. |

I recognize Parler was a "Wretched Hive of scum and villainy", and that anyone who participated in the rallies (either breaking into the capitol, or even attending the speeches) deserves to be exposed. But, there may have been people on it who were innocent (i.e. who didn't go to the rallies, who may have even signed up for the service before they realized who it was catering to) that may not deserve to have their data exposed. |
Weird thing about Parler:
I signed up to see what was in there and the next day I got a notification from twitter that my account there had an attempted access via invalid password. That might not seem too coincidental to some but I have not logged on to that twitter account for at least 8 years and had no notifications until joining Parler. Deleted!!! |

BTW that would strongly imply they have passwords as plaintext. Yay... |
Wrong thread.

How to defeat an insurrection:
1. Cut off the traitor's lines of communication. 2. Defeat them in detail. This is beautiful work. |
While I do consider this good news, my worry is that it will also entrench them even further. They already view the closing of Trump's account, and social media's removal of hateful and misleading posts as censorship of their opinions. This could be easily construed as a hostile attack on their freedom of speech by Them (whoever you want to use to fill in that blank - communists, Biden, Deep State, what have you).
Also, while I don't mind the FBI gaining access to the Parler database, I've got misgivings about all this personal information just being released into the public. You just know the Internet mob will descend on some of these people, quite possibly disrproportionally to what they've actually done. As for losing Parler... is this something that's easily replaced, or is it actually a significant blow to them? |

You will be unsurprised to learn that several geniuses did indeed reply to this post with their details and what they did. |

I have mixed feelings on it but overall if I had no intentions of being a contributor and I just wanted to lurk, I wouldn't be doing it under a legit email and my name. I also wouldn't be sending in my drivers license to have it verified. |

Well, this is the problem with trying to deal with stupid and evil people. Anything you do will make them entrench even further. Anything less than complete acquiescence to their demands will be met with cries of horror and calls for violence. These people need to be defeated hard enough that they finally get the message, no matter how stupid they are. It is not going to be easy, it is not going to be pleasant, but it simply must be done. Worrying about how they will react is of no use, because they will react the same way no matter what we do. |

Any responsible company usually can reproduce databases in hours if not less. Since Parlor was hosted by Amazon, there is a good bet that deleting their data is almost a waste of time as it probably can be reproduced through a backup restoration process. |

Oh dear. This is a digital "here I am, come and get me" |

Or maybe they did and that's why Parler was given 24 hours notice. |

I'm actually legit surprised we haven't gotten the media being all up in arms about the "Dark Web." It was one of their most favoritest scare words for a while there.
But I sorta doubt an Tor session is within the brainpan of most of these people. |

What you are mentioning here (incremental/full database backups) I am sure are done regularly. But, in order for someone to hack into them, they'd probably have to go in through the operating system or database. The other way is within the database itself... create tables that create audit logs of changes. Or design your database so that records are never deleted, but you have a field that indicates "this record is active" or "this is deleted". They don't need the database-level backups to do this... and to hack into it you can probably go through the application. From the description, It appears that the hacks into Parler were of the second type... not involving database backups but just hacking into existing data. |

We use to preach 'defense in depth' which included off site backups. Quote:
I'm not in the industry any more, but the one constant is change. Still, certain things are unlikely to change. One thing that proves to be true over and over again is the permanence of data. Many a CEO has sent an incriminating email and attempted purges of that data only for some computer forensics company uncover it. I'm oversimplifying everything and there may be some reason why I am wrong and people can permanently delete those incriminating posts. But I wouldn't bet on that, |

Since I am a complete non-entity there didn't seem much point in getting a tick to show I really was a specific non-entity. So no photo ID. |
