Kanye West to acquire ‘unparalleled’ social media platform Parler • TechCrunch
Kanye West, a rapper who also goes by the name Ye, has reached an agreement to buy the “unparalleled free speech platform” Parler, the two said in a statement Monday. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
West, who has accused Meta of censoring him in recent weeks, said in a statement: “In a world where conservative views are seen as controversial, we must ensure that we have the right to freely express themselves.”
Parler, which is considered a paradise for conservatives, has returned to the Google Play Store last month after it was pulled by Google after the Capital riots in January 2021.
