An API endpoint is just a URL with a value added onto the end that tells the system what you want to get back.
Right, I did some reading and here’s what likely happened with Parler. Lots of crossed wires here.

If you had a working URL, it just spat out whatever it had whether you were logged in or not.
I cannot describe how amateur hour this is, if true.
Okay so the admin accounts - they discovered an API endpoint that let them enumerate admin users.
This is also so unbelievably bad that it boggles the mind, from a web dev perspective
The admin accounts were not compromised, apparently, but holy fucking shit you DO NOT expose admin account data EVER. That is asking to get hacked even more.
Happy fucking Monday, let the train wreck of this week begin

They are going to do this in a way you won’t see it coming. They are going to stop it before the source.
Soon, the media is going to be a complete left wing echo-chamber. Social Media, TV and Papers all left wing and you don’t get to say “what about free speech?”
3/
Why? Because they aren’t playing against free speech. They are going after the free market. This also gives you an idea what socialism can and will do.
I don’t expect my account to last long now I’m watching this and exposing it! Please share, stand your ground and don’t quit!
Here’s the proof that CNN are trying to get Fox cancelled at the broadcast level, stop it getting into people’s homes by getting the TV providers to ban it. Again, targeted before what we see as the source. This is also the groundwork for any

Also in the name of diversity, there is unabashed discrimination against men (especially white men) in tech, in both hiring policies and in other arenas. One such example is this, a developer workshop that specifically excluded men: https://t.co/N0SkH4hR35
