Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Cuz this is some real honeypot-lookin stuff right here and makes me question if they're deeply unserious about cybersecurity and protecting their members.

They do suck at cyber security, and any effort to fix it is the individual effort of chapters. They'll put your info into a big excel that every chapter in the country can access. I know because I was accidentally added to a chapter from Delaware signal months after I joined a chapter in Missouri.

It definitely no longer works like this. The party has made a lot of improvements but there's still room to grow

seems to me that given this it's only a matter of time before ICE or some other federal agency has a full list of names and addresses of PSL members

can't think of a better reason not to join tbh. the fourth reich gestapo will show communists less mercy than their third reich counterparts did

Not sure why you think they don't have that already, or couldn't generate it with data already on hand

Cops can get this in a single geofence to wherever the meetings are held. But Palantir or Google probably already serve this info up on a silver platter for feds.
