DJT is enraged being cut off from TWEETdom.

After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them, we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” the company said.

He's used eponym with his picture. Such a dim bulb sputtering on it's last wire coil.

11 more days.

Only a few hours after Twitter announced a ban on President Donald Trump’s @realdonaldtrump account, he has attempted to tweet from at least two other accounts under his control. Tweets posted to the official @POTUS account were swiftly deleted, and after the same thread was posted on the Trump campaign’s @TeamTrump account, it has been suspended entirely. An account for the Trump campaign’s digital director is also suspended.


@teamtrump banned
In a response statement, Twitter cited its ban evasion policy, which says that if an account is being used to evade a ban, it’s subject to suspension.

In the deleted tweets, Trump complained about the treatment he’s receiving, and claimed he is negotiating with “various other sites” while also looking at building his own platform “in the near future.” The accounts also proclaimed “We will not be SILENCED!” before they were shut down. How having his own platform would align with his stated objective to repeal Section 230 (the law that would protect his platform from being held directly responsible for what people post on it) is unclear.

So far, the president has not attempted to release a statement via the White House website or called a press conference. According to reports, the Trump campaign has not emailed its followers in over 48 hours — a rare occurrence.

Awwww, shucks. Can't understand the WH web page.

lol, they’ve effectively silenced parler...
aws is not going to be hosting them anymore.

combined w apple and google yanking parler
from their respective appstores...

parler is essentially done as a company.

(more to come i’d imagine, thanks to trumptards)

it’s not like these are government entities
i suppose,
so 1st a does not apply...

sorta like a religious baker
and gay cakes....

but it is draconian,
and it is a slippery slope.

The thing about Social Media is that there is no editorial oversight until too late. Social Media must undergo change. Some people are making fools of democracy and even our damned social evolution with their use of Social Media (except for ICMag).

I've seen that Parler has been compromised. They're just soaking up that data while it's still available.

Here is a description of what went down according to someone with far greater technical knowledge than me:

"so a group of developers latched onto the Press Release that Twilio put out at midnight last night. In that Press Release, Twilio accidentally revealed which services Parler was using. Turns out it was all of the security authentications that were used to register a user. This allowed anyone to create a user, and not have to verify an email address, and immediately have a logged-on account.

Well, because of that access, it gave them access to the behind the login box API that is used to deliver content -- ALL CONTENT (parleys, video, images, user profiles, user information, etc) --. But what it also did was revealed which USERS had "Administration" rights, "Moderation" rights.

Well, then what happened, those user accounts that had Administration rights to the entire platform... The hackers, internet warriors, call it what you will, was able to use the forgot password link to change the password. Why? Because Twilio was no longer authenticating emails. This meant, they'd get directly to the reset password screen of that Administration user.

This group of Internet Warriors then used that account, to create a handful of other ADMINISTRATION accounts, and then created a script that ended up creating MILLIONS of fake administration accounts.

Now that they had a way of creating admin accounts without interruption, they created a Docker Image (basically a virtual machine) called a Warrior, that anyone could download, and when fired up, would immediately start collecting data off of Parlre, in a coordinated fashion.
Consider it like SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) that people used to load up as screen savers when their computers were not being used. Same concept, crowdsourcing.

All of this data, the videos, the images, the posts, the metadata (including the GEO location of all images and videos, and the connections to the accounts that posted it, has been (since midnight) being uploaded to various cloud drives and storage arrays for the purposes of Archiving this information, for later retrieval by law enforcement, by the public, by Open Source Intelligence communities.

And the kicker.. is this: all of this information was thought to be secure and private by individuals who were making the posts. A significant number of those individuals went through the process of being a "Verified Citizen" on Parler. What does that mean?

It means they uploaded a picture of the front and back of their REAL State Driver's License........ Let that sink in for a second.

I am positive the FBI has been actively soaking in this information along with the Internet Warriors, but this is how they are going to officially track down.
And it's how the FBI, DHS, and FAA have been able to immediately and exhaustively create no-fly lists. Every verified attendee of the Capitol riot where they can find a real name has been placed on No-Fly Lists.

It might seem like a small geeky glitch or hack.. but in the age of Information warfare... this is the silver bullet for the people who used Parler as a place to organize their efforts.

Also, a lot of posts were deleted by Parler members after the riots on the 6th. Turned out... Parler didn't actually delete anything.. just set a bit as deleted.

Guess what has access to all "deleted" content?

Administrator accounts."

So someone used a bunch of words you don't quite understand to paint a picture that this was outside agitators.

When in reality AWS has been in talks with the owners of Parler for a couple of months and brought to them 98 different credible threats of violence and told them they better start moderating what was going on, or they were going to shut them down for illegal activity. Which is really the only way AWS will boot you off of their servers. Parler has ignored their requests, so they're following through with their threat.

And removing them from AWS servers is going to be a massive pain in the ass for AWS, taking months to complete. During which time ALL information will be available to the owners of Parler so they can keep their data, even if there is nothing they can do with it until they can find or create another hosting service.

Parler
-Requires people to show their ID to verify account.
-Have rights to the photos and messages of each user.
-Since they are NOT 230c they rarely edit posts and will just ban the user so they don't get sued. (230c protects sites from being sued it they remove the offending content).
-Parler was/is an information grab of the gullible Trumpkins.
-Everything the Trumpkins complained FB was Parler is.
-Parler now supports 239c.


I agree with you too. It's a data grab.

So what does what you wrote have to do with people claiming that they are copying any and all data they can and making it available publicly?

yeah, he resigned. fool went to the expense & cost in time & effort to get elected, then threw it all down a rat hole to show solidarity with fucking violent extremi...uh, i mean "misguided patriots" trying to save Americas soul... i couldn't even TYPE that with a straight face! :) at least we get to weed out a future jackass now, rather than let him get him burrowed in tighter than an alabama tick, THEN discover that he is both functionally a moron & intellectually and/or morally bankrupt. you know, a typical politician...

I apologize. You were right.

Which is even funnier. 70TB worth of metadata stored about their users including DLs and SS#s. :yay:
