Parler apparently got hacked. The outlet for far-right extremists claims it's a "free speech" haven. |

The far-right got a dose of reality overnight. The social media app Parler was hacked.
Those who were kicked off Twitter are now flocking to Parler. The site describes itself as a haven for “free speech.”
Remember that actor Rickey Schroeder said that he was dumping Twitter for Parler.
I guess he and millions of far-right agitators are going to regret that decision.
Some hackers decided to expose millions of users' information in an attempt to out white nationalists.
Parler has a significant user base of Donald Trump supporters, conservatives, and right-wing extremists.Posts on the service often contain far-right content, antisemitism,and conspiracy theories like QAnon. Journalists have described Parler as an alternative to Twitter, and the service is popular among people who have been banned from mainstream social networks or oppose their moderation policies.
Parler markets itself as a "free speech" and unbiased alternative to mainstream social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. However, journalists and users have criticized the service for content policies that are more restrictive than the company portrays and sometimes more restrictive than those of its competitors.
Wait so conservatives thought Parler was the good place and it was actually the bad place? 😏 #ParlerHacked #ParlerLeaks https://t.co/PGcnay72kY pic.twitter.com/X4dMui0LRf
