I just watched the Antisocial Network. I found it questionable that they let Kirtaner appear to take credit for the Parler scrape of video data about January 6.

Distribution-Agnostic Database De-Anonymization Under Obfuscation And Synchronization Errors
Database de-anonymization typically involves matching an anonymized database with correlated publicly available data. Existing research focuses either on practical aspects without requiring knowledge of the data distribution yet provides limited guarantees, or on theoretical aspects assuming known distributions. This paper aims to bridge these two approaches, offering theoretical guarantees for database de-anonymization under synchronization errors and obfuscation without prior knowledge of dat…
