Parler is notorious for lousy security. They may get sued over this.
There's nothing left to sue. Besides - The ones who decided to become domestic terrorists on the 6th are going to have other things to worry about than a data breach.

Well my point was that this is one breach that could have been prevented. Many in the IT community have pointed out their security flaws and they did not address that. Couple that with (from what I read) accidently published information in an article that allowed someone to create an admin account. So this isn't your usual hacker finding some arcane flaw or running a scam. This is negligence.
The metadata was embedded in the videos. She did not have to breach their site.

According to @donk_enby, more than 99% of all Parler posts, including millions of videos bearing the locations of users, were saved. Unlike most of its competitors, Parler apparently had no mechanism in place to strip sensitive metadata from its users’ videos prior to posting them online.
