Vast majority? OK..... So what about the stuff that was from private posts? You're really going to justify this?
It wasn't from private posts, it was from deleted posts. Parler left them accessible and so they happened to be caught when scraping.
The hacker specifically mentioned on Twitter both deleted and private data.
And you believed it.
