I think the ones who planned it are not the ones getting caught - yet. The FBI is gathering the low-hanging fruit first, but there will be a lot more arrests. Anyone who entered the Capitol building with their cellphone on - even if they didn't use it for anything other than taking pictures - will eventually be identified. Because of the way it's constructed with underground tunnels, the building is essentially a cell tower.
Any of these clowns who used Parler to share information is in for an unpleasant surprise - a hacker has scraped almost all of Parler's user data, including videos. It turns out that the design of the site is worse than amateurish - nothing was ever really deleted, it was just flagged as deleted. Videos were not scrubbed of their metadata - something every other social media site does - so the videos contain geolocation data that identifies where and when the video was created. And to make matters worse, in order to get a Parler account you had to upload your ID documents - and all of that was in the data the hacker downloaded. I saw something today that said she is now making the data publicly available for anyone who wants to do research. |
