In my ideal world, if the data is publicly accessible and it is intended to be that way as well, aka. a Parler post that is visible to anyone with an account, I don't think anyone should be charged for accessing and making a copy of it. If Parler in this case had taken even the slightest effort to encrypt or secure the data, then I think that should open up the hacker to chargers. The essence comes down to the intent of the data owner; if even the most rudimentary attempt is made to secure and keep private some specific data, then the attempt to get said data, no matter how insecurely it is being stored, is effectively breaking in and stealing. I see it as stealing Amazon packages, one of the easiest crimes ever, but it's still a crime and you shouldn't do it.
