The hack is equivalent to if someone downloaded all of the content of Reddit, or a database of all tweets, if this post is to be believed: https://www.reddit.com/r/ParlerWatch/comments/kv0jo6/psa_the.... Would anyone even bat an eye if that happened?


From the original article

> This may include things from deleted/private posts.

I think people would be alarmed if private DMs were leaked from Twitter, yes.

The data also includes the geolocations of posters.[1]

Another comment also suggested that the photos of the driver's licenses that were used to verify users were also being downloaded, though I'm not certain if this is true.

Yeah, but this apparently was all downloaded through Parler's publically accessible API, so if anyone should be to blame here, it is Parler.
