You'll get no rise from me, especially on an unrelated Thread.
Carry on.

they've scraped nearly everything on Parler, of course it's that huge
iirc it's like ~99.9% of the site as a whole and all the stuff on it
both good and bad news is that this includes the personal info of all users that put personal info on there, and parler's boneheaded policies mean that the equivalent of a twitter verification requires a government-provided ID of some kind which is both great for, say, identifying the Capitol rioters and awful for, say, any innocent people that end up doxxed because some schmuck abuses the fact that all this info will be completely public when the archive finishes

A good swindler is slippery enough to have plausible deniability. In my estimation Trump hasn't done anything illegal when in office, and if he did, there's nothing that he could be confidently charged with without a shadow of a doubt. He'll be fine. The rest is a matter of opinion in regards to how the country should operate.

Oh come off it. The guy's a psychopath and represents the worst of human nature. He's a piece of shit, and anyone who can't see that or endorses his behaviour is probably one too. Also, "how the country is run" is not the only consideration. We all share this planet with each other and other forms of life, and his behaviour affects all of us in various ways and to varying degrees. "America first" is obnoxious nationalism.

I'd support a censorship-free effort akin to Parler if it wasn't just a proprietary, data-mining shithole like every other social media service. It's ridiculous that anyone thought Parler was going to work.

Idk if I posted here already or not, but I voted for Biden and MAGA tears are delicious.

so all the scrapped parlor data includes metadata such as GPS COORDINATES of the phones used when posting. AWS also requires all posts and data to be archived, and it will be handed off to the FBI. these people are FUCKED.

also:

Parler investor Dan Bongino, a Fox News commentator and former NYPD police officer, said in a Parler post on Saturday — shared on Twitter by BuzzFeed reporter John Paczkowski — that the company was “not done with Apple and Google” and encouraged users to “Stay tuned to hear what’s coming.” One user replied: “It would be a pity if someone with explosives training were to pay a visit to some AWS Data Centers - the location of which are public knowledge.”

AND THEY WONDER WHY THE PLATFORM FULL TO THE BRIM OF THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE KEEPS GETTING BANNED, BLOCKED OR OTHERWISE TECHNOLOGICALLY ASPHYXIATED!
"the social media platform I'm on, stuffed with hatred and misinformation, died off because it was connected to politically motivated violence! time to fix things with MORE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED VIOLENCE!"

I've noticed in a lot of those cases it was just part of a larger bot purge as opposed to actual users. lol

I wonder how many would keep with this same narrative if it was lgbt people being censored simply for being lgbt.

Far less (hopefully), because there's a significant difference between being censored for who you are and being censored for what you say. Someone being LGBT and stating it, or even being vocal about it, is simply stating facts of their existence. Someone spouting hate speech and misinformation is perfectly capable of NOT doing so, but chooses to be an asshole.

Is that not bog standard politician?

To want the job you pretty much have to be a narcissist, by more than willing to compromise on any kind of morally held position, and psychopathy certainly does not hurt in such matters.

The two or three times a cycle it happens they tend not to stick around for the next, or embrace the inner arsehole and roll with it.

Just want to be clear, I meant "how many on the right would be fine with big tech censoring LGBT?".

Yes, disordered empathy seems to be a preprequisite for the position. The difference is, I'm not trying to make excuses for it.

You don't have to make excuses for it. If it is predictable it might not be ideal but you can work with it.

anyway bring the topic back to what really matter..
The Failed Coup..
Have you seen the videos of MAGAs upset that they were placed on the terrorist no-fly list..

oh i wish i could find a Disney aladdin meme saying "you wanted to be a terrorist? you get everything that comes with it"

I know I don't. I was referring to this:

The rest is a matter of opinion in regards to how the country should operate.

which reads to me like a much lower moral standard than is reasonable. "Slippery enough not to get caught behaving immorally and not necessarily carrying out criminal acts at the moment and probably not going to go to prison" is a shit benchmark, and stinks of making excuses for somebody who you know is morally bankrupt but whose policies you nonetheless support because it suits you to do so.

As for being able to work with it - I disagree. These people are sanctioning activitiy which is killing the planet. Look at the fucking antarctic and then tell me we can work with that.
