Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, agreed to buy Parler, a conservative social media app after other platforms suspended him over antisemitic posts.
In September, however, Google reinstated the app on its Play Store, stating the company modified some of its content moderation policies and enforcement. Apple restored the app on its App Store platform in April 2021.
Parler has sought to reduce its dependence on technologies from other firms by establishing its own cloud infrastructure in-house. The company set up a new parent company in September, called Parlement Technologies, aimed at providing its own cloud service for online business."The future is uncancelable," the company said at the time.
Ye and Parler's parent company expect to finalize the deal before the end of the year, the company said. The terms of the deal include technical support for Parler from its parent company, as well as the use of its private cloud services, according to the Monday announcement. After Ye's suspension from Instagram, the rapper turned to Twitter, posting for the first time since 2020."Look at this Mark How you gone kick me off instagram," he wrote, referring to Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Instagram parent Meta.Ye was then locked out of his Twitter account for a violation of its policies, after which Musk tweeted he had talked to Ye and"expressed my concerns about his recent tweet, which I think he took to heart.
