They failed to strip EXIF data from photos and video, which in come cases contains GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken. It's so incompetent an oversight it's hard to believe it wasn't deliberately malicious.

Jesus Christ. Any other alt tech pops up, we've gotta be super stringent about their transparency on security and privacy policies. It's not enough to be "not part of the Orthodoxy", these alternatives must be equal or superior to Facebook, Twitter etc from a technical standpoint as well.

This is why I only post screenshots of photos I've taken

Do you mean as in the hackers failed to do so, or Parler? Because if it's the latter, holy fuck these people are idiots.

Parler, as I understand it.

This is such an insane oversight. Even very small sites know to do this.

I’ve noticed a lot of YouTubers doing it. I actually sometimes struggle to find Tim Pool videos in my subscriptions as a result.

Wrote this in another thread (https://thedonald.win/p/11Rhhdihpx/parler-hack-pt5-she-is-one-of-th/) about this before:

Do the lefty thing and report them to their DNS registrar, Cloudflare and hoster.

Archived tweet: https://archive.is/XtdNe

Info about the domain: https://whois.domaintools.com/meo.ws

Their DNS registrar is Dynadot. Their abuse mail is [email protected]

Their host is the German Hetzner (it's illegal to store, process or publish private data without consent in Germany). Their abuse form is at: https://abuse.hetzner.com/issues/new?lang=en

They're also being protected by Cloudflare. Their abuse form is at. https://www.cloudflare.com/abuse/form

Reasons would be use of exploits to access private data (they said they impersonated admin accounts, someone got a good link to include in abuse reports?) and publish said data. They're also using the data to threaten people: https://archive.is/ZyxOC

I've already seen the official narrative on Comraddit. It's impossible to dox a Trump supporter, because they are terrorists, Nazis, and traitors. Trump supporters to them are not human.

TL:DW: Massive hack on Parler. 70TB of user data has been stolen. Data includes user location information.
