Florida-man loves him some Parler. Russians; not so much. But I think I found where an oil-derrick is, off the coast of West Africa.
In the US, it would be an interesting overlay over a color-graphic of voting patterning by district. To see red-zone vs blue zone density. And then to see it on a per-capita density. |

And once everyone clicks on this link, they will have everyone else on Parler, who checked to see if they were on the first map.

I found it on social media so I doubt there's much IP harvesting going on. That doesn't get you much, either. All they got from the data dump was what was publicly posted, no other information other than that which was posted by users. |

Internationally - Brit's Kinda like them some Parler. Japs and Australians like it too. As do Taiwanese. Two (2) Mongolian's like it. The 3 non-emasculated males left in Iceland can now be found.
And Madagascar is continuing their SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN meme, which at the time I thought was just a joke.... |

According to a Reddit post by the author it's only 68k data points, despite the data dump being much larger (because not everyone shot and uploaded video obviously) but still pretty interesting.

You can do the same with many pics people post here.
Maybe the tinfoil is a bit too tight, but I think it is fkn crazy how many gun pics I scroll over and see the GPS icon light up. |

A lot of sites scrub the metadata, which is absolutely what they should be doing.

Quoted: No P2i on this, but look at the implications. You can zoom right down to dwellings. Be advised accordingly. https://kylemcdonald.net/parler/map/ What is a big surprise to me is the sheer extent of the app's usage. This is just video files. Not just extent but distribution. Mozambique and Venezuela? Wow. Look at all those terrorists.... They are EVERYWHERE!!! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A lot of sites scrub the metadata, which is absolutely what they should be doing. I dont think arfcom does. Iirc, there was a stick about it when they started hosting pics, and thought they disabled it, but I saw one pop not too long ago that made me think otherwise. I believe it is a switchable option on other hosting sites, default often being to pass it through. Used Picasa (which tuned into Google Photos) for the longest time and never had a prob. Cant remember if it was something I had to turn off though. ETA Looks like it may be fixed now. Just scrolled through a thread with a ton of pics and came up clean. |

Many cases of homes robbed based on gps location in a photo from a craigslist for sale ad.
Turn off location for pictures on your cell phone and problem solved. Also many free apps that remove location data from photos. |

The first thing that I do anymore when I get a new phone or new camera app is to disable saving GPS coordinates / meta data. I posted a few photos on twitter in the past and luckily they strip it out, it wasn't anything bad but it made me paranoid when I went to edit the photo later and saw that it saved my location - there are websites where you can insert the coordinates from your photos and when I did that it literally gave me a view of my home from Google maps. Anyone who has not turned that shit off on their phones, go do it now. |

As soon as the 01/06 shit went down it was labelled everywhere as some sort of insurrection planning network. I was so curious I made an account. A lot of MAGA noise for sure, but apart from that it was a normal social media site. They were also clear in their t&c (like Arfcom) that there's no illegal shit allowed. |

Given the scope of this data breach I'd be surprised if anyone went back to them, if they can resurrect.
But conservatives are pretty dense and stubborn, so maybe they have a chance. |

Yikes.
Seems to me there should be some sort of legal liability to someone when the ANTIFA-shirts target some of the very specific residences that are pinpointed on that data set. Yet the same sort of data dump from those guys who warscaned the phones of ANTIFA riots was cleansed off twitter in no time flat. Dangerous times to be living under a double standard. Would be nice if there were a capable non apple non android smart phone that wasn't tech sector compromised. The default 'on' setting for geotagging is obviously for no good purpose. |

There's really no such thing as a secure phone. It's supposed to ring when someone calls you. |

Use apps to strip media metadata before posting anything anywhere. Metapho is good for iOS.

A lot of these points have dates from back in December...
Also, you have to take into consideration some people using VPNs on their phones which will manipulate this data. My guess is its actually going by uploaded from and not created at. |

My guess is its actually going by uploaded from and not created at. Photo and video metadata is at the application layer, it is in no way affected by VPN which tunnels your network traffic through an intermediary (your VPN provider). A VPN will protect you from you being geolocated by IP, but that's about it. |
