In the wake of the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by scores of President Trumps supporters, a lone researcher began an effort to catalogue the posts of social media users across Parler, a platform founded to provide conservative users a safe haven for uninhibited free speech but which ultimately devolved into a hotbed of far-right conspiracy theories, unchecked racism, and death threats aimed at prominent politicians.
The researcher, who asked to be referred to by their Twitter handle, @donk_enby, began with the goal of archiving every post from January 6, the day of the Capitol riot; what she called a bevy of very incriminating evidence. According to the Atlantic Councils Digital Forensic Research Lab, among others, Parler is one of a number of apps used by the insurrections to coordinate their breach of the Capitol, in a plan to overturn the 2020 election results and keep Donald Trump in power.
There's a lot of information about how they managed to do it. They were able to access over 70tb of data from the site, deleted messages, current posts, direct messages, location data, etc.
This story is about to really heat up soon
