Have you seen this powerful message from Governor Schwarzenegger pitting the Sword of Conan against the Snake Pits of Trump?

This is refreshingly very good.I love how he diverges from the predictable narrative with the sword and talks about tempering. Excellent message.

That is certainly the best and most admirable thing I have ever heard Arnold say!

70TB of Parler users’ messages, videos, and posts leaked by security researchers
This is freaking awesome!
https://cybernews.com/news/70tb-of-parl ... searchers/

Parler, a social network used to plan the storming of the U.S. Capitol last week, has been hit by a massive data scrape. Security researchers collected swaths of user data before the network went dark Monday morning after Amazon, Google, and Apple booted the platform.

The scrape includes user profile data, user information, and which users had administration rights for specific groups within the social network. Twitter user @donk_enby, who first announced about the scrape, claims that over a million video URLs, some deleted and private, were taken.

“These are original, unprocessed, raw files as uploaded to Parler with all associated metadata,” claims one of the authors.

Security researchers claim that the scrapped posts are linked to accounts that posted them, and some of the video and image data have geolocation information. That is said also to include data from Parler’s “Verified Citizens,” users of the network who verified their identity by uploading photographs of government-issued IDs, such as a driver’s license

The data might prove valuable to law enforcement since many who participated in the riots deleted their posts and videos afterward. The data scrape includes deleted posts, meaning that Parler stored user data after users deleted it.

Parler, a far-right friendly site, was among the key candidates to host President Donald Trump’s social media presence as Twitter and Facebook suspended his accounts for instigating violence.

Parler, which claims to have over 10 million users, has lax rules over content, making the platform very attractive to far-right groups. Google and Apple removed Parler’s smartphone app from their app stores, claiming that the platform allowed posting that seeks to “incite ongoing violence in the U.S..” Amazon took similar measures, removing Parler from its hosting service.

Reddit users claim that the scrape was made possible due Twilio, an American cloud communications platform that provided the platform with phone number verification services, cutting ties with Parler.

In a press release announcing the decision, Twilio revealed which services Parler was using. This information allowed hackers to deduct that it was possible to create users and verified accounts without actual verification.

With this type of access, newly minted users were able to get behind the login box API used for content delivery. That allowed them to see which users had moderator rights and this in turn allowed them to reset passwords of existing users with simple “forgot password” function. Since Twilio no longer authenticated emails, hackers were able to access admin accounts with ease.

The above post brings a question to mind. I wonder if when Amazon shut down Parler last night if they have made copies of all of Parlers data from the drives of their servers that serviced Parler.com to turn over to the government if requested also?

Think like a criminal with me for a sec. Does it bother anyone else here that Trump is heading for our Southern Border tomorrow? Think about it. He flies into Texas and then uses ground transportation into the city of Alamo, Texas to check on his wall. He's thisclose to Weslaco where there is a border crossing station. He stops the car then be-bops over the border and plants his ass there...and refuses to leave Mexico.

At this point (Tuesday) it doesn't matter that Mexico has an extradition agreement with the U.S. He's not charged with anything.

Let's say he's not charged with anything until after the Inauguration so he bides is time in Mexico (doing what only God knows--does he have a credit card or cash to pay for crap?) then at the optimum moment, he hops his fat ass on a jet and gets the heck out of Dodge.

Yes, I know I'm obsessed with criminal activity. Thanks in advance for pointing that out.

Can the Secret Service keep him from going over the border and if not, would they follow him over to ensure his safety and security? Like would they follow him to an airport gate until he is no longer the President and then he turns to them and says, "See ya, guys. It's been real! Adios!"

I would imagine there are redundant servers with database backups for all of Amazon's cloud services.

Yes, but the Parler data could be overwritten if not copied/saved.

Redundant database backups = copied/saved.

I’m guessing that (ordinarily) Trump’s security detail would accompany him in close proximity at all times, outside of those occasions when he needs to clear his bowels of yesterday’s Big Macs. So, for your scenario to work for Trump, they’d need to willingly follow the President on to a plane, then willingly ‘abandon’ him to allow for his departure. Figure that those agents could face arrest for not discharging their duty, or would need to leave the country with Trump and resign themselves to surrendering their citizenship in order to become part of Trump’s private security detail.

I’d hope that any agent considering this option would ask for a hefty up-front payment before committing. ; )
