Home » Security researcher archives Parler content
A researcher has archived Parler user posts, photos and videos in the wake of the platform being accused of fueling the recent Capitol riots. According to Giz Modo, the researcher, @donk_enby, archived every post from January 6, the day of the Capitol riot, with the goal of documenting "very incriminating" evidence.
Over the weekend, Apple, Google, Amazon and other companies announced Parler would be removed from the app stores because it failed to moderate posts that encouraged violence and crime. Knowing this, the researcher worked quickly to archive 99.9% of Parler's content. Some of the content contained "original, unprocessed, raw files as uploaded to Parler with all associated metadata," the researcher said, confirming the raw video files included GPS metadata tracking the location of where the videos were taken.
