Thanks @alexan
Things that are true:
Accounts can be registered with a fake phone number since it isn’t verified At least some media has GPS location embedded There are efforts to archive as much posts and media as possible currently ongoing Drivers license photos are required for verification Things that are not true:
Drivers license photos are public facing and can be scraped (in reality they cannot, and are not being archived) Millions of administrator accounts are being created by the archivers (the archivers are using regular accounts or public facing data)
Hilarious. Of course Parler was a grift, hoovering up user data from the rubes using it. And of course said rubes would never think twice about sending a picture of their driver's license to some faceless company so that they can post big dick Trump memes and premeditate violence.
You've got to imagine some of these guys sitting in their hotel rooms, not allowed to fly, watching this company just completely fold under pressure, and somewhere in the back of their mind is a little fizzling spark going "gee, I sure was mistreated by this corporation. It seems like this private enterprise was only interested in making money, and didn't care about my well-being at all." And then they just blame it on gay jews and blacks or whatever.
