... one issue being raised is whether tech companies will preserve evidence about the event that could be used in prosecutions. Senator Mark Warner [D-VA] wrote to tech companies including Parler and Twitter as well as AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Apple, Facebook, Gab, Google, Signal, and Telegram, asking that they preserve content from this week's attack on the capitol.
