Doesn’t matter if they were hacked or not, as Amazon holds all of the data.

Amazon cannot be trusted. They can easily breach any and all databases on AWS.

Smells like more Marxist disinformation to me.

I just started binge watching Mr. Robot. Interesting parallels.

This is why I never want a blue check.

The total identification requirement discouraged me from signing up.

“It means they uploaded a picture of the front and back of their REAL State Driver’s License…….. Let that sink in for a second.”

And now that’s bring exploited. That’s so horrible and just not fair.

“Every verified attendee of the Capitol riot where they can find a real name has been placed on No-Fly List...”

That is not what the No Fly List was designed for!

It’s unfair!

I’m not 100% certain on this, but when I read the Parler TOS, I believe it indicated they DO NOT store the actual image of your driver’s license (front & back, which for whatever bizarre reason was required to sign up and open an account). Instead, they store a computed/hashed value of the image, which cannot be reverse-engineered to reproduce the original images.

That said, the requirement to upload real id is what gave me enough pause to never sign up..and far as I can tell, Gab does not appear to have any similar requirement - at least at the moment.

That people would upload images of their driver’s license to a web site like Parler is crazy. How do we know this has not been an FBI sting operation all along?

And it’s how the FBI, DHS, and FAA have been able to immediately and exhaustively create no-fly lists. Every verified attendee of the Capitol riot where they can find a real name has been placed on No-Fly Lists.

That sounds like BS nonsense. THE FBI has hi-res facial images of all those who were in the Capitol building. They use those to match against agaist all state DMV databases. No Parler hacked data needed.

...(That old wheeze? Again? Did we learn nothing from DOS?)...

It's not just DOS (MS-DOS), Einstein, it's standard operating procedure for most of file systems supported by most major operating systems. V-Fat, Fat32, NTFS, Ext3/Ext4/exFAT, APFS, et al, most of them only mark the file as deleted until the OS has need of that bit of storage space and overwrites them. Some OSes even require an additional application be installed to support "secure" deletion (or "shredding") of files.

So speaking of "tired old wheezes," how about this one: RTFM. It might prevent you putting your ignorance on public display.
