He’s not wrong.
Parler took cheap route and depended upon everyone else, now they lost everything. Fools.
When the parler thing went down, I almost posted
/laughs in Pirate Bay
;D
It’s since emerged that Parler’s site could be thoroughly scraped and users’ posts accessed without permission. Those posts included metadata such as location. It is thought that the unauthorised dump of Parler data is now being used to investigate those who participated in the storming of the US Congress.

One hacker bragged he hacked Parler and downloaded all of its last few weeks of taffic. Obviously including the protests in DC. Seems to be true. Could Free Republic be hacked like this and they get our IP adddresses?
I have this nagging theory...
...that FB and Twitter (and others to a lesser degree) intentionally goaded conservatives into fleeing to Parler because, via inside exchanges with Amazon, they knew that once they had driven them all to that new home, they could make them all STFU with the flck of a switch.

Leftist headaches gone.
So far, it looks like the round-up was a success. MeWe isn’t ever going to be safe so long as it’s still on Amazon servers in Ireland.
So...
Anyone for “Battlestar Galactica” reruns?
One way to more complete privacy is through the various pirate party associates in Nordic countries. They accept cryptocurrencies. Some will even accept cash. One problem with using those services, though, is that some international gangs (including drug cartels) are also using them for money laundering. So if you use one of those services, be sure to report with your tax filings, any transactions that are required by law to be reported.
Parler is simply going to go for damages now, they've done the oppo cost of rebuilding. The site had that van-down-by-the-river feel all along.
Meanwhile Y3llowbeard, who has the ultimate distributed app with thousands of illegal self-hosters, criticizes Parler for having to have legit legal hosts, while missing the fine point of Parler's legal strategy altogether. LOFL.
There’s nothing new under the sun.

kickasstorrents had become the big one but got taken down and fbi got the guy running it. After that, most went away voluntarily except for the piratebay.org which I still use.(for no copyrighed material of course - I wouldn’t think about taking revenue from the fine people in hollywood)
He’s right. Parler was very naive and foolish to ever trust Big Tech. Just seeing how they collude to try to destroy anybody on the Right or anybody who advocates free speech (Alex Jones and Gab) should have shown them that.
I hope Parler has learned it’s lesson and will soon be back up and running like other victims of Big Tech persecution before them. I also hope everybody who is not a raving leftist lunatic takes notes. You cannot trust Big Tech - for anything. That’s the takeaway here.
I haven’t been able to get onto Parler this week. Is it that way for everyone?
This is what I’ve been getting when I try to go to Parler.com:
“Hmmm… can’t reach this pageIt looks like the webpage at https://parler.com/ might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.”
Does anyone know what’s going on?
I had no idea just how weak the security at Parler was.
The Titans of Tech may have done us a huge favor.
