The only reason white people are frightened by becoming a minority is because they're racist shits. Otherwise there's no reason to care.

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.

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.

Most people on Parler are just there to post memes about Biden, I don’t think that deserves doxxing (well I don’t think anything deserves doxxing but especially when you’ve done nothing wrong other than mildly offend people)

You feel that way, but it isn't. I don't support robbery, but there's definitely people I wouldn't feel bad for if they got robbed. My opposition to robbery generally is not conditional on my sympathy for them specifically.

doxxing is, itself, illegal in some states.

It would likely be argued, though, that all of this information was publicly available on the platform, even if by oversight.

Well, really, Parler should have scrubbed metadata like any responsible platform, but yeah the people in question shouldn’t have disclosed this like they did.

The bottom line is Parler has been a very poorly run platform and it is very foolish to be there in the first place.

Sure there is. It means that in order to hold power, you have to be more inclusive, on the right, you invite in the hardcore-- the goldbugs, the white supremacists, the sovereign citizens and other crazies. It means you get a weird populism with some very unsavory politics. The same is true of the left, you get communists, hardcore greens, and other fringe people. You can't rely completely on the old majorities and you have to reach out to people who many people consider fringe. This part of the reason you get populists like Trump or Ocasio-Cortez.

That's fair enough I suppose. There are people I wouldn't feel sympathy towards if they got doxxed, but those are people who have actually done something wrong, such as animal abusers.

Yeah I agree, but I would still feel bad if a leftist gets doxxed though because in the end they’re fellow people and I can’t imagine like what it is to be doxxed especially if you live in an area where people will harass you for your views

Doxxing sucks, but if it happens to you because you were careless with your information in your mad rush to get onto a poorly-secured new site to spew vitriol and misinformation... well, reaping the whirlwind and all that.

Who the hell thought any aspect of his political career was a good idea? He's been on an even faster upward trajectory than Obama, but as far as I can see there's really nothing behind the suit-- I know I'm not the target audience, but usually I can at least tell when someone has charisma or political ability. Hawley seems very much like the right's knockoff of some Democrats' hopes for Joe Kennedy.

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.


The problem is many of the security groups are aware of weaknesses the same time the “real” hackers know about them. Reputable security groups tend to try and work with a company if they happen to find something bad. If the company isn’t responsive; they force it by publishing the issue, without the details needed to get through.

It happens more then you think and it goes that way as businessmen tend to be more concerned about profit and plugging security holes can get costly.

The fact they wanted pictures of licenses????? Stupid move on their part. That just screams ATTACK ME! I DARE YOU!

It’s not too hard to see why he was such a rising star in the party before this to be honest—young, suave and charismatic, educated, populist—everything the GOP was trying to be to expand its base. He was popular and rewarded for a reason.

He just turned out to also be, y’know, an unscrupulous demagogic nutcase.
