After being kicked off other platforms for antisemitic posts, Kanye West has agreed to buy Parler — a social media network known as a conservative version of Twitter.
"In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves," West said in a statement, who now goes by "Ye."
A little over a week ago, Ye was locked out of Twitter and Instagram over antisemitic posts that the social networks said violated their policies. In one post on Twitter, Ye said he would soon go "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE," according to internet archive records, making an apparent reference to the U.S. defense readiness condition scale known as DEFCON.
The potential purchase of Parler would give Ye control of a social media platform and a new outlet for his opinions with no gatekeeper.Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from her husband Kanye West after seven years of marriage.
