Hello, Mr. Bond

Dumb Gab shit incoming:

It was deep in a long thread about whether EXIF data should be scrubbed from images, so it's probably worth posting as its own thing: if you have been verified (i.e., gave Gab your government ID) or you have ever given Gab any money (Pro, Donor, Investor), then when you try to delete your account on Gab, it will tell you it's been deleted, but will not actually delete anything.

An explanation if you don't know how to read the code: the "Delete my account" button passes the request to a backend job after making you confirm your password (see the code in the upper-right, the DeletesController) and tells you that your account has been deleted. That backend job checks if you are pro/verified/donor/investor (all cases, perhaps by coincidence, where Gab has your dox), and if your account is any of those things, then it just does nothing ("return true" means to return success from that method, meaning it skips the rest of it, like "purge_user!"/"purge_content!"/etc.). It was a cursory glance at the code but I didn't see anything in there about deleting images you've uploaded.

It *could* be the case that they were just trying to stop the mod team from removing paid accounts, but the effect is that if Gab has your dox, your account can't be deleted, even if you try to delete it yourself.

A fun side-effect of this is that this is the same code that their mod team uses to delete accounts, so they've got to manually scrub your shit from the DB in order to delete your account, meaning that if Gab has your dox, you can run wild on that site until someone with direct access to the DB (i.e., someone that can turn those flags off manually and then re-attempt the delete).

Side note: Rob Colbert doesn't know how to use git (and apparently believes that it is only used by communists to steal knowledge from the white man), so he has 7z'd the code and then put the .7z file into a git repo.
