Not really. When the user database of Parler was dumped, the media covered that event quite widely and favorably.
- threeseed 3y agoThey would and have cover that event if any major user database was leaked. But unless you have some evidence I've not seen any news organisations deliberately reveal PII data.
- bad_username 3y agoThe first result of the "Parler user data" search for me is this publication https://gizmodo.com/every-deleted-parler-post-many-with-users-location-dat-1846032466 https://gizmodo.com/every-deleted-parler-post-many-with-user... containing a direct link to the dump.
- praisewhitey 3y agoIsn't this only public posts? The article mentions a leak that contained private information but doesn't link to it. https://tracker.archiveteam.org/parler/#show-all https://tracker.archiveteam.org/parler/#show-all
- threeseed 3y agoBut that's public post data not PII user data.
- nvm0n2 3y agoI think you've not been paying attention then. Journalists love doxxing their ideological enemies: - Scott Alexander - Richard Hanania - LibsOfTikTok (can't remember her real name) And that's just in, like, the last 18 months or so. They also love to widely report on cases where allied organizations do it, thus pointing everyone to the dumps. For example the home addresses of the entire German AfD political party was dumped online by Hessen Antifa and this was widely reported in German media (who they got the info from wasn't). There is absolutely no code of honor in news organizations or NGOs. Their goal is to silence anyone who opposes them and they use their positions to do that.
