That API was effectively public by design. It's the same API that anyone using the Parler mobile app would have been accessing.

That API --- their most obvious, public API --- appears to have done no authz, despite using sequential identifiers. There are private feeds on Parler. That's clownish. I don't understand why anyone would trust them going forwards.

I don’t understand either, but lots of people appear to be doing lots of things I don’t understand. So I’m going to assume that people will continue us to trust them going forward, even if I think they shouldn’t.

I don't know what the pill color for this is, but, like, welcome to the desert of the real and all that.
