MASHABLE - Jan 13 - Every posted content on the right-wing social media platform Parler has now been saved, archived, and made public to the internet forever. That includes deleted posts on Parler. Over the past few days, archivists have been pulling content from Parler in order to store them for legal and historical purposes. Archivists began to save the data because they were concerned that users would remove their posts, deleting possible evidence of crime at the Capitol. The campaign to back up Parler was kicked off by Twitter user @donk_enby. Parler wasn't broken into and private information was not accessed. Only content that Parler made publicly available was accessed. @donk_enby's archiving campaign was carried out utilizing public APIs, with a huge assist from Parler's poorly coded platform.
