A hacker obtained Parler user location data during the terrorist attack on the Capitol. The FBI is using the data.
There is a great graphic if you follow the link below, but the site does not like hot links so you need to click it yourself.

The data, obtained by a computer hacker through legal means ahead of Parler’s shutdown on Monday, offers a bird’s eye view of its users swarming the Capitol grounds after receiving encouragement from President Trump — and during a violent breach that sent lawmakers and Capitol Hill visitors scrambling amid gunshots and calls for their death. GPS coordinates taken from 618 Parler videos analyzed by Gizmodo has already been sought after by FBI as part of a sweeping nationwide search for potential suspects, at least 20 of whom are already in custody.
Oops. Maybe Parler should have invested in better security.
Yep.

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.
It would be good to see where they were posting violent threats from outside of DC too.
People need to know exactly where these violent thugs are and when and where they are moving about since these were attacks not only on the Capitol but on every single law abiding citizen.
Local news is constantly putting arrest records and addresses of subjects who stole steaks from Walmart. Knowing exactly who and where these thugs are in our communities (i.e. knowing who not to hire, who not to rent to, or who not to live near, etc.) is a much greater public safety need than knowing about the dude who put steaks under his jacket and made a run for it. Think about hiring or renting to one of these perpetrators. There is a huge liability that these would be the people who would cause workplace violence or violence with other tenants and are a danger to the community.
I know some of the subjects' personal arrest information has been published but it's been piecemeal. There needs to be a database composite of all of this, if there's not already one out there somewhere.
With that said, there is also the risk that they would go into a rage about being blacklisted and do who knows what, so that is really a tough dilemma. They look like idiots and they are idiots, but it's important to remember that they are also dangerous people and the type of people that come to my mind when the cops say "we have to get the bad guys off the streets." These are the "bad guys" (and gals).
Why on earth would anyone have willingly given out their personal information and gone onto this platform???
