Parler 'Hackers' from the 'Other Side'?
Parler is now offline. However, it has been reported that before the app was taken down, an autonomous hacker was allegedly able to access and archive tons of data from the social media app. Since Parler has been infiltrated by mostly conservative/ far-right users, reports have surfaced online that the hackers came from the 'other side' of the political spectrum/liberalists. Specifically, Twitter user Crash Override reports this incident to his personal Twitter account with the caption "Great Job, everyone."
