Parler never had my GPS, as I don't have anything with GPS. I don't use a cell phone, and I don't have GPS in my old car. Parler also doesn't have any kind of ID on me.
Also, I don't think Parler had enough users for there to be "70 terabytes of data." Logins and the text of posts wouldn't even be 1TB.
I used to have a CompuServe account, and I had an automated logging program that would download all the messages from various forums, thousands of messages a day, and many of them were long articles on genealogy, history, or computer topics. I have a backup of 3 or 4 years worth of that material, and it all fits on a single CD (800MB) with room to spare.
I am not basing it on CompuServe files I created 30 years ago. I am basing it on the size of current videos and photos, such as entire movies I've downloaded recently and thousands of photos I've taken. I seriously doubt that every single person on Parler was uploading long videos and thousands of photos. The average person types a little bit and maybe shares a photo that someone else posted originally.
Almost everybody on Parler would have to be posting full length movies to use up 70TB. There's just no way a site that new could generate that much data.

In short, the "hacker" is BS.
The data is available. All 32tb, pictures, videos, Maybe do your research and check the data before dismissing it based on your compuserve backups

Didn't Parler host video and photos as well? Plain text doesn't take up much space at all.

Well damn, they have all the anti-left memes I shared. I'll wait for them to take me down.
