    You'd think with massive data breaches happening every year, people would be more careful with who they give it to. You would think.
    From a webdev perspective its rather interesting. Do you go with a tried and tested platform that already has a lot of protection against known vulnerabilities but you run the risk of being the target of a large attack/exploit (RE: Solarwinds) or do you focus on trying to make a custom platform so that you have security through obscurity but at the trade off of really having to rely on your infrastructure team covering all their bases.

    But for the sick memes tho.

    That last minute archive project is cool but I doubt anything pulled will stand up in court as evidence. So law enforcement may stay away from it.

    Who knew that the quick downfall of Parler actually may have helped these "Patriots".

    Yes they followed the constitution to a T for certifying fraudulently gained electoral college votes. That was not the issue. Again, real big difference between being dismissed for no evidence, and just being dismissed without viewing the evidence. That really shows you how messed up things are, when a judge can just say "I don't like you, get out of my court"
    Not sure if you know how the judicial system works, but merely claiming something (a signed affidavit) is NOT evidence. If this italian guy changed votes from Biden to Trump out of Italy (L-oh-fucking-L to this claim to begin with even), then he needs to provide more than a signed affidavit.

    It's just the way the world works and rightly so. Just imagine a world where courts started accepting anything people simply just say happened as evidence. I'm sure you're smart enough to figure out why that is not realistic.

    So parler is officially down, but not before hackers did their thing. If the following is all true, this is probably one of the funniest things to come of all this and should make it way easier to arrest and prosecute.

    Not saying thats fake but I highly doubt you can just do a API push and make an administration account without needing credentials. Then again some IT people are pretty stupid but that's a pretty massive flaw in a site design. I do hope it's kinda true though just to see the chaos.

    It kind of makes sense if they coded a hard dependency on twilio’s service without any exception handling if the service was down. Basically just took over an admin account and then created more, which all had access to the data apis.

    I haven’t done web development since 4th year uni so I have no idea how feasible this is but we will find out soon enough either way. I’ve already seen a few alleged links to the data dumps but haven’t clicked or looked into any yet.
    It's not really a hack. It's just stupid design. Basically, original assets along with metadata (including GPS wtf lol) are stored and available publicly with zero permission checks. When you delete something, it simply marks it as deleted without actually getting deleted. UI won't show it, but the endpoint for pulling the asset still does. The reference is also sequential. So they're basically going through an endpoint to pull the assets out by brute forcing the reference ID, collecting absolutely everything that's ever been posted, deleted or not.

    The user info endpoint is the same, you can build out the entire user database, including what permissions the user has. Tied to the metadata in the assets, you can now rebuild a user's entire Parler history, deleted or not.

    This shit is #1 poor design, and #2 caught in any competent code review. Clearly there was nobody competent working there.

    Interesting...guess that whole spiel about taking over admin accounts was bullshit. Don't even need to be a hacker when the app is designed this bad...just need to know how ot use scripts to scrape data off publicly accessible servers.

    They say the left can't meme, but looks like the right can't code

    Just be prepared for the unintended consequences if you are going to make it a competition between genders and races.
    I know you see the term ‘white man’s privilege’ and see it as a personal attack rather than a concept. But it is a white man’s privilege to pretend like it hasn’t always been a competition.

    ItÂ’s easy to think it hasnÂ’t been when the rules were never rigged against you. Which was the problem. Now youÂ’re upset not because somethings been taken away from you but because somebody else might have something given to them. ItÂ’s the mentality of a selfish child.

    Sounds like you think the best way to repair racial and sex inequalities is by implementing racist and sexist policies?

    Your racist bona fides are well established here already, including your preference for segregation in the case of FN.

    The left wokies have always had a real real hard time understanding that racism with the best intentions is still racism.

    Just like it was a few hundred years ago. The left wokies are just the modern slavers trying to solve the “African Problem”.

    I guess anyone can be racist when you just make up positions for them.

    Nobody can play the victim quite like a white man seeing others getting things he’s always had.


    Get over the misplaced guilt buddy, have some self-respect.

    Where would you say you rank on this? I saw it being unironically shared all over twitter.

    This is more common than you think. Even at big tech companies with a lot of competent people. Also, hypergrowth startups with like a dozen engineers are under insane workloads just to keep the lights on. Remember how often twitter went down with the fail whale, and they had way more resources. They're still well below the size at which most startups hire their first security engineer. A lot of the time, once companies start to hit around the series B mark, investors will start demanding outside security assessments, because at that point there is actually something to lose. In the beginning, it's all hands on deck just to grow and prove that you're viable.

    Parler is headquartered in Henderson Nevada, which also doesn't have much tech talent. On top of that, you'll basically never work in tech again if you have that on your resume. All of my friends at the major companies are just salivating over this. Big tech is absolutely infested with woke activists with these hero complexes and delusions that they're saving victims from their oppressors. Combine that with Trump Derangement Syndrome, and the prevailing sentiment right now is that Parler was essentially just terrorist neonazis full of hate, and they're already talking about going through the dumps to make sure they haven't accidentally let someone like that slip through the hiring pipeline. So combine all that and remember twitter wasn't profitable for like 10 years, they bled billions of dollars in losses, had tons of investors pumping multiple rounds into it. So I definitely have some sympathy for them.

    I had a Parler account, just to see what was going on over there. Didn't post or anything, followed a handful of people, mostly some citizen journalist types who post riot footage. A lot of what's happening in Seattle and Portland isn't covered anywhere else. Honestly it was nothing close to what it's being made out to be. I suspect you can find the same messages buried on twitter or fb or any platform, if nobody reports them, they can stay up a long time. Parler is a handful of people, no way in hell they can read everything. I can't really guess what percentage of the users were nutjobs, but I can say there are a lot of conservative leaning pundits on there, even tame ones like Megyn Kelly, and lots of people just used it to follow folks like that and would never be exposed to whatever is being alleged. There is a misconception that it was completely uncensored/unmoderated, but it wasn't like 4chan, there were rules. It was basically built for adult conversation, not kids trolling. Incitement and porn and all the usual stuff is still banned there.

    Funny thing is I knew for certain they'd get hacked at some point in the near future, because of how startups do security coupled with them being so hated, so I used a throwaway bogus email to sign up, so when the dumps came out, my details wouldn't show up in the witch hunt.

    Basically true. You'll almost never find a right leaning person in west coast tech companies (so basically all of them). The few that are there just STFU because cancel culture and ostracization is not only real, it's rewarded. I'm not even conservative and I've felt the brunt of not towing the line a time or two. We all saw what happened to James Damore at Google.

    This is why conservatives are in real trouble. If all of the service providers are going to play politics, and they don't want to regulate private companies, the deck is stacked way against them surviving this dumb culture war.

    The big irony is that it is becoming clear that monetized social media and advertising models are basically the next tobacco in terms of societal damage and consumer sentiment.

    Which one do you think 'having more equitable access to debt to build capital isn't really something that bothers me at all and if it helps correct some institutionalized inequality in the system without taking anything away from anybody it's definitely not worth complaining about' fits in best?

    I ask only because the obvious option of 'White Genocide' isn't available so I'm a little lost.
