Kanye West to Buy Right-Wing Platform Parler
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has agreed to purchase Parler, a social media site that bills itself as “uncancelable,” as reported by Marca.
After posting anti-Semitic remarks, the star’s Twitter and Instagram accounts were shut last week.
The popularity of Parler has increased among US conservatives as more established platforms crack down on false material.
George Farmer, the chief executive, wrote on social media that you ” will never have to fear being removed from social media again.”
Why is Ye acquiring Parler?
Little information regarding the deal’s terms is disclosed in the notice on PR Newswire. According to the agreement: “Under the terms of their agreement in principle, the parties intend to enter into a definitive purchase agreement and expect to close during the fourth quarter of 2022.”
It also says that the deal will involve “ongoing technical support” from the business.
“In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial, we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves,” wrote Kanye West in a statement.
Ye’s Instagram account was suspended after he claimed that rapper Diddy was under the authority of Jews. He rejoined Twitter after being suspended and tweeted that he would commit “death con three on Jewish people,” which led to his second disbarment.
