Apparently Parler collects phone numbers and scans of government-issued ID. I suspect most people in a Western country would find it difficult to "burn" their legal name and birthdate.
Really? Parler requires an image of an ID? I've heard this claim elsewhere but I just assumed it was misinformation. I can't imagine so many people sending in photos of their ID to have access to Parler. Even the ones who didn't know that openly planning murders is wrong there are many users who would know to hide their identity, right?
I've never used Parler but credible articles I've seen claimed that you could create an account and read/follow without uploading your ID, but you had to provide ID in order to be "verified" and allowed to post/share photos and video (and maybe text? Not sure on that).
