You'd expect some journalists etc to have accounts to see what's going on.

Seems to be quite a few users in the UK, but it's probably as much as other English speaking countries if you control for population size outside the US

Also VPNs from other countries could be used. But as I say I am registered but never posted and do not appear on that map so I assume its only people who posted that are on it

For a while yesterday it was rumoured that Chuck Norris was at the Capitol riots after this picture went viral

Chuck had to release a statement saying that its not him and that at the time he was at home on his ranch in Texas.

Of course its not him, if Chuck Norris was at the Capitol riots he would be the US President right now.

Frankly, when I saw the folllowing pic, I figured Chuck was there and absolutely cleaned house...

It seems to be a map of people who uploaded video to Parler.

That map is created from the Geo-tag data embedded in images uploaded to the site by posters - Which Parler didn't strip or secure in any way of course.

So it won't cover all posters , just those that included a photo in a post.

ITV News Washington Correspondent Robert Moore and his team were the only news crew who filmed the rioters as they stormed Capitol Hill on January 6. Their report shocked America and the world.

An ITV documentary with never-before-seen pictures filmed by the team on that defining day in America airs on Tuesday night.

https://www.itv.com/news/2021-01-12/storming-the-capitol-itv-news-team-who-filmed-pictures-that-shocked-world-reveal-inside-story-of-what-they-saw

ITV screened this documentary entitled Storming the Capitol last night and there was a fair bit of new footage in it. Their camera crew was right there with Q-Shaman guy as they entered the Capitol building and inside it they also spotted members of the Proud Boys who they had filmed before in other states. They came under attack from a Trump supporter at one point too but others held him off, it was hairy stuff. Not sure if its up on Youtube yet but watch out for it as no other tv camera crews were in there, in fact most of the footage we've seen so far has been from this single ITN news crew and then sold off to the other news networks.

In the documentary the journalist Robert Moore spoke about how he has been tracking militia groups in the US for months now, he was showing up at their events and interviewing them. He said he told his editors in London that something major was going to happen on the 6th from all of the online chatter he was seeing on Parler.

This site also got a mention, its the main forum for militias in America to organise and talks about their combat games at weekends. https://www.mymilitia.com/ Just had a browse through it and its kind of funny to see whats popular. Threads on 'Primary Weapons' number nearly 8,000 whereas threads on 'Non-lethal items' just 12. Similarly threads on 'Tactical Operations' are over 3,000 whereas 'Physical Fitness and Nutrition' is just 92. Theres a thread there discussing the banning of Parler and asking if they're next.

Just shows what the number one policy of Trump's presidency was, narcissism.

if Chuck really was there they would not have needed the IEDs. Chuck could just roundhouse kick the Capitol Building and it would collapse.

The locations are a bit too exact to be IP address traces.

I think it's metadata from the videos - when you take a video on your phone, it attaches the GPS data (and a load of other stuff too), so when you upload that video without stripping the metadata, anyone can see exactly where and when the video was taken.

A lot of it is probably just mundane "look at this" stuff, but some of it pinpoints houses. Which has to have people ****ting themselves.

It is using the metadata from video and pics. Parler did not strip this out when you uploaded unlike sites like twitter and facebook. parler was a totally amateur operation.

You've got the WhatsApp privacy issues there too, which would have led to loads of people looking for something else.

Could be a lot, but it also coincides with a WhatsApp TOC update a lot of people aren't happy about.

Isn't that more about the privacy concerns with WhatsApp's recent changes to share more data with Big Brother Facebook?

Doesn't happen here in Europe due to GDPR

Universities and levels of higher education are heavily correlated with being left wing. You don't learn much It in school so that only leaves people who teach themselves and a small % of people who have been taught. Certainly any job I have worked in people have been pretty open with their political beliefs which are pointed one way (and my job would involve coding) but that is Ireland.

I wonder how many are those keeping tabs on it or trolling as well. Certainly would expect at least a few in the Biden administration coming in to be on it to see what the chatter is. Many others could be interested in this as well due to the number of death threats.

Have to agree vast majority of coders I've met working in IT nearly 30 years now would be left of centre and liberal in their beliefs, nor shy of hiding it either.

There would seem to be a pretty a hefty slant towards libertarianism with tech people across the pond from what I can get gather. Maybe I picked that up wrong.

The founder apparently use to work for Amazon AWS. I think its more a case of throwing together an MVP (minimal viable product) to try and capitalize on conservatives being pissed off about Twitter, and never really doing much else beyond that.

Absolutely - Clearly just lashed together a few API's from here and there to get a platform out the door.

Also , the utterly appalling site performance suggests that they were spending the absolute bare minimum on AWS capacity as well..

And given the state of the security on the site , they weren't testing a whole lot either.

Parler might not have had the money to invest in better infrastructure because of the unconventional revenue stream where they took a cut off advertising money from influencers who used the service.

If kids in the schools with metal detectors did this they would be arrested.

One of them was claiming that it was a breach of his constitutional rights to make him go through security!

From the Party that brought you the Patriot Act.

PhilOssophy · 13-01-2021 05:11PM

Might have been covered in the many other threads on the matter, but do you think Trump actually believes what he is saying himself about voter fraud, conspiracies, fake news, etc?

I can't help think that when himself, Don Jnr and co sit around having a coffee they are laughing their heads off at the 70m people who voted for them, and the fact that many of them actually believe his every word, no matter how crazy or outlandish the claim is? I bet they are saying "we gotta keep this going, because these people actually believe our every word, even if we don't ourselves".

Apologies if done already elsewhere.

From the party whose POTUS hasn't been to a Covid briefing in literal months

As the House pushes forward with Trump’s impeachment, his allies are arguing that voters would prefer Congress focus on combating the coronavirus and are upset with social media companies for banning the president.

The Trump campaign Wednesday circulated a memo written by Trump pollster John McLaughlin to campaign aide Jason Miller.

“Voters are opposed to impeachment and Big Tech censorship, and they want an orderly transition,” McLaughlin wrote. “Voters strongly prefer that Congress deal with fighting coronavirus and not impeachment. Impeachment is viewed as a waste of time and money.”

As part of the White House’s limited pushback, senior aide and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner has asked allies to publicly argue that impeachment is unnecessary. Trump, meanwhile, has asked Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) to help hold the line with members of his chamber ahead of a potential Senate impeachment trial.

The released tapes about Covid suggests he believes one thing and says something completely different in public.

Regardless millions believe what Trump the TV/Twitter character says so that is where it becomes dangerous

Note:

"It was just a prank, bro" is not a viable defence in court against the charge of fomenting insurrection.

Also the party that most support gun rights which means children have to go through a metal detector to get educated. They really are a bunch of knobs.
