Originally known as an Extremely Online personality, Baked Alaska was gradually banned from most mainstream social media platforms. In January 2021, Gionet livestreamed the storming of the U.S. Capitol building, in a violation of his release. It was later reported that Gionet's footage was used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to identify suspects. Gionet was arrested by the FBI later that month in connection to his activities at the Capitol. As of September 2021, Gionet remains out of custody and has continued livestreaming while facing federal charges.
