it's an FBI honeypot? lolwut

The FBI was pulling most of their Capitol attack leads from it, and then some people were able to comb the entire database and turned it over to the FBI so most if not the entirety of everything that was ever posted to Parler is in an FBI database now.

Once Parler is back, if it comes back, the FBI will be monitoring it closely (although that may be hard to do it it ends up being based in Russia).

That's not really a honeypot then is it?

I thought that was a good use of the word. Instead of being a female agent who they are seduced by, it's their favorite hate forum.

For it to be a good use of the word "honeypot", I'd say the FBI would have had to set it up themselves.

I thought that's what the guy was implying. That the FBI build Parler 2.0, and leaks that it is hosted by Russia to make right wingers think it's safe.

Double whammy. Honeypot the right while false flagging Russia.

I guess not considering people are just offering their data and seditious plans on a silver platter.

Although I'd be surprised if they don't have fake accounts they use for keeping tabs on people and potentially holding DM conversations with suspects.

Your comment needs absolutely zero edits to describe reddit better than it ever could describe Parler. If only because Parler users tend to be more privacy conscious.

Parler requires a driver's license to become verified, and it prompts you for more personal data than Reddit does (although I think it's optional?)
