Reply to comment by eeqrhty in Parler is back and it's hosted in Russia! by not_bob

While I generally agree, I think the problem with that theory is the three letter agencies are allowed to operate with impunity outside of the U.S. They may be operating with impunity inside the U.S. already, but they are violating the law by doing so. Either way, real news about the world is about to become a whole lot more sparse than a few years ago.

They can get a court order to collect user data for servers in the US, and for Parler I'm sure that has already happened. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Parler is a honeypot anyways. It's suspicious that they ask their users for personal information.

I agree. I've always thought it was a honeypot as well, so I never dug to deep into it. Given the rumors that the site's information was compromised, I'll never attempt to use it either.
