The agency statement doesn't mention specific posts, but that doesn't mean they don't exist... Feels like there's /probably/ more here than we're hearing. There's plenty of space to be loudly outraged on the barest shreds of information, though!

Meanwhile: There's presumably a lot of very free* speech in the Parler data dump, connected to people's verified accounts, which could easily be finding its way to employers, who in turn get to decide how they want to handle it.

* racist, treasonous, violent, etc.

Right now, on /r/opendirectories, there is a dump of videos and pictures from parler that was hacked. Are there racist scumbags on Parler? Yes. Does that justify the disclosure of family pictures, and presumably a lot of NSFW content that is in every social network?

Speech is speech. Think about the limits you want carefully. Especially if it starts with the thought that a particular ideological or ethnic group excercising speech should result in them "getting whats coming to them"

In this case, as the statement made clear - it's not speech that is the problem, it was that she choose to speak at all, that was the problem.

Wait, didn't Reddit have a policy against publishing "hacked information" just about two months ago?

Let’s just say that Reddit is unequal in their application of rules.

"but that doesn't mean they don't exist."

Guilty until proven innocent.

We people wringing our hands on the internet do not necessarily have all the information to judge what's going on here. We have a very thin article with a tiiiiiny shred of information about people we have otherwise never heard of.

This whole discussion is a great encapsulation of mindless, reflexive outrage on hacker news.
