“In a world where conservative views are considered controversial, we need to make sure we have the right to express ourselves freely,” said the rapper, now called Ye, according to a company press release. The deal comes shortly after the rapper’s accounts were blocked by social media operators Twitter and Instagram for anti-Semitic remarks.
Parler is among the right-wing platforms that emerged in the era of former US President Donald Trump. Supporters of him say the social network Twitter and other applications do not treat Trump fairly, CNBC writes.
The deal could give Parler a new boost as it faces competition from other right-wing platforms like Trump’s Truth Social, according to the AP. “This agreement will change the world and the way the world thinks about free speech,” said George Farmer, CEO of Parlement Technologies.
