Reply to comment by Rambler in (Mapped) GPS metadata of 68k videos uploaded to Parler. by Rambler
My gut tells me that this will result in arsons and assaults. I hope not though. Good thing I've never posted anything on Parler, I wouldn't expect those freaks to check if those were just cat pics.

Use official Tor Browser or I2P + some ungoogled chromium based browser and configure the proxy manually

Reply to Does "Happy Eyeballs" mean that every internet connection is logged with the hardware MAC address, even for "normal sites" on IPv4? by Wingless
Apparently a whole slew of browsers are sending IPv6 connections whenever they connect, "just to see which one is faster", which sure sounds like a lot of bandwidth for somebody to pay for ... must be worth it to someone.
Don't they just send a packet to measure response time? I'm not certain that'd amount to any noticeable increase in monthly BW usage.
Can someone who actually understands the Dismalest Science enlighten us?
I'm not your guy. It's an interesting topic of discussion and I hope someone who knows what they're talking about can come in and enlighten us.

Like everyone else has already said, it's not a good idea using Apple or Android. If you really want to browse darknet on your phone, look into GrapheneOS or a Linux phone and use tor on those.

Expect more detailed, street level maps of "evil Trump supporters" to be made indexable and available to all. I'd assume that if you uploaded images or videos without first stripping the meta data out yourself, or if you had a verified account and uploaded your ID and details, that you're already on some 'evil conservative' list that's being compiled and refined.

Reply to Police have right to a suspect's internet info without a warrant, Arizona Supreme Court rules by Rambler
WTF, the same website posted another article concluding the exact opposite of OP's article: https://tucson.com/news/local/court-arizonans-have-right-to-internet-privacy-from-authorities-without-warrant/article_6a9375fe-3c88-5bee-ac2b-e0d5a8ce2ceb.html#tracking-source=article-related-bottom
My take away: Your personal info like name and address are protected, but what you do online is not.

Reply to comment by KeeJef in 70TB of Parler users’ data leaked by security researchers by Rambler
Too much work for general shit-posting. It's not like you're filing your taxes or applying for a mortgage.

You don't. iOS and Android can't be trusted.

Parler although probably well intentioned have been incompetent from the start. you needed to submit your Social Security Number and a photo of your driver's license to access some features. Crazyness

You can access Tor with ease using the official Tor Browser if you're on Android. I'm not sure I'd use it for anything like markets, though.

A few users over at r/datahorders made back ups
MrBlack wrote
In a press release announcing the decision, Twilio revealed which services Parler was using. This information allowed hackers to deduct that it was possible to create users and verified accounts without actual verification.
With this type of access, newly minted users were able to get behind the login box API used for content delivery. That allowed them to see which users had moderator rights and this in turn allowed them to reset passwords of existing users with simple “forgot password” function. Since Twilio no longer authenticated emails, hackers were able to access admin accounts with ease.

Because, of course it was.

Burner and ben are two common words, almost 100% sure it is just coincidence. Also if you're making an psuedo email you probably shouldn't use the alias you go by; I recommend using a random string generator.
An another note, Protonmail doesn't let you use the standard recaptcha verification if it sees you are on a vpn or tor node so you either have to use your actual IP, verify with phone, verify with non-proton email, or make a donation. Proton claims that they don't log phone or email but it's up to you if you trust these claims.
If you're ultra-paranoid , I suggest getting a prepaid visa using cash and then signing up to Protonmail over tor and spend five dollars to verify your account (I believe the money goes towards one of the subscription plans they have, it doesn't just go to the void). Make sure to also use a long randomized password and change it often :3

Reply to The Truth About Protonmail - Privacy Watchdog by Rambler
ProtonMail also doxed Tom Spark during some controversy ( https://medium.com/@gaetanosabin/did-nordvpn-and-protonmail-violate-gdpr-and-us-privacy-laws-by-doxing-vpn-affiliate-2fe7b0d51d1f ) I'd just avoid anything Proton. I currently use CTemplar but obviously I still don't do anything critical over email.
