I would argue that all social media platforms are orwellian in nature. It is possible for any social media platform to be scraped for data on a given user, especially if the user reveals their identity to the platform. Pseudonyms can also be backtraced to a given user, especially if the pseudonym is used commonly by that user.    

I myself don't post anything on social media that I wouldn't say in public, but even that will give insights into the persons thoughts, beliefs, plans, and ideas. If you are going to post on a social media platform, be very selective about what you are going to say. 

I don't really buy the whole "we support free speech" narratives that platforms like parler and Gab advertise. Even Gab has limits on speech (you can't call for violence for example).
