My take is not so much that Parler isn't dumb, so much that people who still use Twitter or Facebook have no standing to point and laugh at them.

@guizzy The people dumping and graphing the data don't care they're making it easy to triangulate users in places like Iran and Venezuela.

@sullybiker Yeah, but if users in Iran and Venezuela were posting data with the EXIF geolocation still on, I'd be surprised if their government either didn't care about them or already had all that information. They're making it easy, but for actors with the ressources of a state, it was already likely trivial.

@guizzy That's a good point but consider that people are already expressing surprise at media that was ultimately never hidden from public eyes. It's just been presented and cherry picked for easy consumption.
