they built a social platform based on some retarded model available online, the leaks basically cover all of the website's content, including driving licenses and private messages... I dont think it can ever be back given that there was no real security or protection of private data.
Parler was not hacked, no one's drivers license or PM's were leaked. This is what they wanted you to think to further harm Parler's reputation. All that was "taken" was public facing information(posts text, images, videos). In other words if there was something that you had to be logged in to see(ie your DM's) it was NOT archived by the "hacker." Although Parler fucked up by not removing geotag info from images posted. It was literally just a web scrape.
Like imagine every post on Parler had a URL that went something like: parler.com/post1, parler.com/post2, etc, etc, on forever.
They made a program that visited every one of those links one after the other and saved what was on those pages. That's it. It was dumb that Parler didn't have a mechanism for catching this, but this is literally what Google does to create a search index.
Thank you for clarifying this issue. I read some articles claiming hackers had basically copied 100% of the site. I am glad this was not the case. However, the damage to its reputation has been done, even if it is re-launched no one would trust that company with their data.
Not to mention that Parler's layout was a disaster and engagement was almost non-existent. I think conservatives will have to post anonymously on boards for the time being.
Yup I agree, they’re tainted.
