Kanye West is acquiring the conservative social media platform Parler. Parler agreed to fully sell the app to West, but they have yet to enter into a definitive purchase agreement.
Conservatives have for years accused traditional social media apps of hindering free speech and censoring content, leading to the creation of newer apps such as Parler, which offer very minimal content moderation. Former President Donald Trump helped launch a similar platform — Truth Social — after he was kicked off of Twitter in January 2021 for violating rules against the further incitement of violence following the Jan. 6 riot, where a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol.
Parler CEO George Farmer said in a statement on Monday that the company welcomes West “in the fight for free speech.” “As the social justice mob continues to put the crosshairs on people they disagree with, Parler’s open door and viewpoint--neutral take on social media offers an environment where everybody can speak freely,” Farmer said.
