   Hi August,   
      
   On 2021-01-13 07:55:00, you wrote to me:

    AA> I heard about the "copied".  But it was described to be a way to

    AA> So, the hack was on purpose.   
      
   Yes, and what I heard of it, it was quite easy, because of the code mess the   
   owner/creator made of it. It very much sounds like an amateur job.   
      
    AA> I wouldn't necessarily want the app either.  But I like the idea   
    AA> that people have options to use different technologies for   
    AA> privacy.   
      
   There are (like Telegram and Signal ;-)). But Parler isn't one of them...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
