Hijacking top comment. Here's the data: https://donk.sh/06d639b2-0252-4b1e-883b-f275eff7e792/ #noflylist is trending on Twitter. Guess a lot of jobs will soon be available in Silicon Valley.
Just a disclaimer, in case anyone has forgotten about the great ion cannon from back in the day: If any of these Twitter or Reddit posts are true then I would talk to a lawyer before participating.
I'll believe it when after private convos are leaked.

> Because Twilio was no longer authenticating emails. Can someone explain what does this mean?
Trying to make sense of it, I believe that means Parler was delegating their email verification and 2fa checks to Twillio. And somehow, without access to Twillio's API, they defaulted to not do any check at all? I'm not sure what to do of this, that doesn't sound that realistic but who knows.
AWS gives 5Gbps connectivity to instances, according to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/ec2-networkin... So, if the sum total of Parler was 70 Terabytes, as claimed... the transfer time would be 38 hours, if it was hosted on one instance... but it obviously wasn't. It was more likely only a matter of minutes. This shows a new type of cloud hosting vulnerability. Your entire corporations infrastructure…
If there is one lesson to be learned from these last few weeks it is that you can not rely on any external service if you do anything which goes against the dominant political narrative. I have never been on Parler's site so I can not check the veracity of their supposed implied or direct support for seditious acts but that does not seem to matter anyway, it is enough to stand accused to be considered a witch and bur…
I'm so tired of this. The reason people are getting banned from these platforms and services isn't because of just run of the mill political views. They're getting banned because they are hosting content calling for the violent overthrow of the US government. Apple didn't ban Parler from the app store for their attitude towards capital gains tax, they banned them because they found
> direct threats of violence and calls to incite lawless action
The reason people are being banned now isn't some sudden decision by publicly traded companies to try and endorse a left wing agenda. It's because there's been a massive uptick in the number of people advocating violence as a means of advancing their political agenda.
People keep acting as if these actions are being taken in the context of the 2008 election where everyone was pretty much civil and there was no real question of violence. In that context, yes, it's an outrage that liberties are being crushed. But that's not the context of today. Today we have people openly talking about murdering democratic (and somewhat bizarrely, insufficiently local republican) politicians, and credible evidence they plan to carry out those attacks.
The issue isn't that those people are being censored, the issue is they exist in the first place.

That is just a list of parler public urls.
The URL lists were used to distribute archiving of media content. 70TB of text, image, video, and metadata content was downloaded in a few hours with essentially a volunteer botnet. The team at archive.org is importing the full archive right now.

Funny, I thought the dominant political narrative was that terrorism is bad.

There's going against the dominant political narrative, and there's organizing and committing federal crimes like breaking and entering into congress. You have freedom of speech and the government cannot arrest you from saying things on the internet. However, organizing a raid on the government will get you in trouble, and never forget that nobody is obligated to give you a platform.
I don't know why but what's happening to Parler doesn't feel right at all...
