because Parler set itself up as a free speech platform.

if they're reporting shit to the Feds, it's no different than Facebook.

Granted. but most people assume if it's a free speech site, you're not going to get reported to the feds for bad behavior.

Parler set itself up as a privacy respecting, free speech site. Whether it's logically sound to do so or not, people are going to assume they're not being reported to the FBI when using Parler. This is why people get so butthurt about it. It's unexpected. That was the intent of Parler all along. Hence, honeypot.
