Oh my God

Parler required users to give their social security numbers

And now they've been hacked

This is the biggest fucking grift I've ever seen, I knew these people were stupid, but my God they gave their SSN because Twitter mods were "meanies" to them

You can join without that stuff I believe (it apparently has quite a few people from Saudi Arabia) it just gives extra access/perks to those that did the SSN thing.

Because it would be so hard to look up what is a valid three digit SSN prefix and throw some ten-sided dice to generate the rest of the numbers.

A friend of mine sort of had his SSN appropriated. Someone used it to get a job, and regularly made deposits to his social security retirement account. He didn't mind that too much.

Undocumented workers frequently use fake SSNs. Which turns out to be yet another benefit immigrants bring to the US -- that money can't be paid to a fake account and just gets added to the Social Security fund.
