When you purposefully leak private data, you no longer get to hide behind the title "Security Researcher".
The person who did this calls themselves a hacker. It's just whoever wrote this article that decided to call them a "security researcher".

>This is not an ad network. This is a system where their most "influential" users can get paid to post organic-looking sponsored content. Their CEO talks about it…
"researchers". Imagine what they'd be called if this was Reddit, Twitter or a non-conservative site they'd hacked.

So, you agree with what I said.
Yeah, but you said it with what looked like a lot of sarcasm and criticism. I said it with a tone of "Oh shit, I could have done exactly the same thing". Empathy. But it's a fun point of the nuances of language, isn't it? Maybe I misunderstood you.
Where are the comments about how awful it is for people's private messages to be leaked? Or is this okay because the media told me these guys are the bad guys.
This hack made the "front page" of news sites here in Norway, and I've never heard of the thing.
I guess it's only fitting that I just got my own lawn...

You can't be serious. There were literally millions of users on the platform.

Hmmm... comes close to lynching a ton of people, if you ask me. Never mind who´s right or wrong, the point is that we all agree upon trusting a judicial system to do this kind of thing, don´t we?
These folks had their private messages exposed. In no way is that "close to lynching". Depending on what the user posted, they might be embarrassed, lose their jobs, or end up in court. We can have a reasonable discussion about the ethics of hacking a site like parler, but not if the starting point is "this is the equivalent of violent mobs literally murdering innocent people".

The ramifications of this will absolutely set a record for the future as the inevitable reverse will happen. People are forgetting that if they're ok with this sort of behavior now, it'll be difficult for them to argue-against or prevent the same behavior when their opposites are in control.
I think it’s actually a part of the plan. When the opposite party gains power in 4 years and does the same thing, you get to call them tyrants then, too. Clearly no one cares about being hypocritical anymore. All that matters is winning the media outrage battle of the moment.

> media told me I create a Parler account myself out of curiosity's sake. The platform had basically no moderation, and was rife with open calls to violence. It was absolutely serving as a recruitment & coordination site for domestic terrorism.
Didn't we learn from 4/8chan that letting people post whatever they want (semi-)anonymously leads to disgusting behavior?
