Apparently Parler had no automated method to wipe metadata from pictures or videos and they required pictures of your drivers license to become a "verified citizen" so this shit was always going to happen. All that info is a goldmine and those fucking morons just had it sitting there.

I mean, at this point, I'm actually not sure formal removal would really do THAT much more. Like yes, we should do it, because setting the precedent that we just handle coups by launching soft counter-coups is bad and weird, but given that pretty much the entire state apparatus seems to have basically tacitly agreed that he no longer has any authority, I doubt he can do much in the next nine days. DC is swarming with troops who won't listen to him, and if he does try some round two dealio, I'm pretty sure the soft counter-coup could easily become a very, very hard one.

I joined Parler and I am not impressed by the format and the threads I saw on it.

I don't think invoking the 25th Amendment would do that, would it? I thought only a conviction in an impeachment trial could secure that.

As to him running again, it's doubtful the fat fuck will even live that long. And honestly, even if he were impeached and convicted, I suspect if he's alive and still has at least roughly the support base he has now, he'd run again anyways and just dare everyone to stop him.

Regardless of their security being terrible, the proper thing to do in a scenario like this is to report the vulnerability to the platform, not just releasing it to the public immediately. If they don’t take action or actively go after you for discovering a vulnerability, then public disclosure is perhaps acceptable, but never before that point, and releasing all the data you could access is pretty much never okay.

70TB seems sloppy, though, and will likely include people who were just there to watch the fireworks. It's kind of haphazard. Also, the information itself has that "I'm just sayin'..." quality to it. Like, fuck those guys, and they would absolutely do shitty things with that information of liberals or whatever, BUT, I don't just want to toilet bowl down a never ending circle of shittiness.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.
