Kanye West has his eyes (and wallet) set on purchasing a conservative-based social networks app.
In anOct 17 declaration, Parlement Technologies, the moms and dad business of the social networks platform, Parler, validated that the rap artist accepted an acquisition that “ensures Parler a future role in creating an uncancelable ecosystem.”
According to NBC News, Parler functions as a questionable alternative platform to other popular apps such as Twitter and Facebook– and was booted offline by several hosting services in 2015 for its ties to the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial,” Kanye stated in anOct 27 declaration, per NBC News, “we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves.”
The platform’s CEO, George Farmer— who is partner to conservative character and Kanye’s good friend Candace Owens— likewise spoke up about the choice in his own declaration, stating that the artist’s arrangement “is making a groundbreaking move into the free speech media space,” including he “will never have to fear being removed from social media again.”
