And I don't even have a twitter account.

what private data was leaked? From what I can see its just public content that was archived.
I read that photos of drivers licenses and other "official" cards were leaked. I believe these were used for proving who you were on the app. I'm not sure if these were publicly shared, or shared with admins who then verified the user.

Wikileaks leaked John Podesta's emails, including such criminal activity as his recipe for risotto.
The point is that finding a vuln and investigating it to the extent required to prove it works is security researcher behavior. Actually exploiting it and dumping all of a site's user data is malicious. If he had leaked stuff relevant to the capitol riots or something, maybe understandable, though using the vuln to do so would still have been wrong.

FWIW I've found that true on the left as well
Can't reply to Kaze404's reply to this, but just wanted to say that I didn't intend to compare Parler to any left-wing social network or group I'm aware of. Just saying that from my experience with the left, there are condoned views and straying outside the lines isn't healthy for group inclusion. I'm also explicitly not equivocating the validity of the views themselves.
I see a number of people here describing Parler as "unmoderated", but it turns out they do have extensive moderation [1] that they use to ensure ideological conformity in their posts. Then the most active users were paid for their content too [2]. This really makes it more of a propaganda weapon than a free speech platform.

I didn't know Parler before. I'm not American, and I'm definitely not a right-wing supporter. But that's not the same as Youtube/Facebook/Spotify tries to do? Good for ads and supporting their political agenda?

The following was requested and provided, please stop changing the goal post when you're called out. > single post > on Parler > calling for mass executions
You’re replying to someone else. I still think these are not legit death threats by the content of it. Saying things like “a good commie is a dead a commie” might be tasteless but it’s far from being a serious thing. No one is killing communists in the US.

How would this have to be modified to become a "legitimate death threat"?

People cannot post whatever they want on 4chan. On boards such as /g/, and /sci/, any off topic discussion is banned, including blatantly racist content. Other than that, there is free discussion that can be quite enlightening. And just because you choose to use a website does not mean you agree with the fringes. Just because you're a reddit user, and reddit has gore subreddits, are you into gore?
You make 4chan sounds like a utopia. Clearly you've never seen the revenge porn, gore, doxxing, etc that happens (or at least used to happen, havent been there in years) on b/.
And honestly, 4chan really is a utopia compared to orange reddit. Removing identities makes conversations less about how the individual appears and more about the substance of the topic.

Illegal. Some of the content on Parler was illegal. Not extralegal. Illegal. And they refused to moderate it when asked. Some if it has the risk of ending up judged treasonous as well, and that's all that matters to a risk averse company.
The claim I see over and over is that broad swaths of speech on Parler were illegal. It's not true. Repeating it doesn't make it so. "Insurrection" --- a call to overthrow the government --- is 100% legal speech in the US under the Brandenburg precedent. You don't get to call a company's refusal to go beyond the law in enforcing speech a form of treason.
In other words you are asserting there was absolutely no illegal content on parler that would require them to moderate their content when asked. If that's the stand you want to take, cool, have a great day, I am not responding to you further. Corporate legal risk assessment is what killed Parler.
