Parler has been down since 3:00 am EST on January 11, 2021 due to its exclusion from AWS , but a Twitter user named crash override (@donk_enby) scraped before this shutdown. He said he got the data.

According to crash override, he got a total of 1,098,552 raw data of movie files that users uploaded for publication on Parler. The maximum capacity is 80TB. Since it is raw data, metadata that should have been deleted when it was released on SNS remains, and it also includes information on which account uploaded it and geographic information at the time of shooting. In addition, depending on the account, there are cases where an ID issued by the government such as a driver's license is used for identification, and it has been pointed out that the account and the individual may be linked.

Many of the videos and images posted on Parler have been deleted after the invasion of the Federal Capitol, but Parler deletes the original file just by setting a flag so that it can not be seen on SNS. Since it was not done, it is said that the images and images that should have been deleted were also acquired by this scraping.

Regarding the invasion of the Capitol, four people were killed on the intruder side, and police officer Brian D. Sicknick, who was responding to the intruder, was injured and was taken to the hospital. Is dead.
