70TB of Parler users’ messages, videos, and posts leaked by security researchers

I guess I'm confused as to the relevance to this thread. This person claimed that two attributes made Parler a "propaganda weapon", I noted that other major platforms have those same properties, so you tacked on another condition.

Presumably this was all in an effort to say something along the lines of - "because of the unique situation Parler is in, these actions were permissible." No?

it's a sensational title

they are doing bulk scrapping of Parler and they do many other sites like Reddit too, and particularly stuff that is being taken down for archival purposes

also there is nothing - and I mean nothing, but particularly threats of violence - in Parler you don't see in Twitter in more abundance, only it's more typically leftists on Twitter and rightists on Parler

I’m one of the most right wing and pro free speech humans to ever set foot on this site. You are beating up the wrong person. I was merely replying to you regardless of what your parent comment said.

They're using this bad faith / fallacious argument all over the thread, so, at the least, it isn't personal.

I'm in perfectly fine faith, and I'd love for you to point out the fallacies.
