Kanye West took offense at Instagram, Twitter for blocking his accounts and bought the social network Parler

Musician Kanye West, after Elon Musk, also decided to become the owner of a popular social network.

Here's What We Know

After his Twitter and Instagram accounts were blocked for anti-Semitic publications, the American rap singer wanted to buy a Twitter analog. We are talking about the social network Parler, which is so itself is positioned. This was announced by the company Parlement Technologies.

The amount of the deal is not specified. Parlement Technologies states that all legal aspects of the sale of the social network Parler will be settled by the end of this year.

The microblogging platform Parler was created in 2018 as a counterpart to Twitter, where there will be no censorship. For this reason, the social networking app disappeared from the App Store and Google Play Market in 2021 after the storming of the Capitol, but returned there after a change in content moderation policy.

During Parler's existence, the company has been able to attract more than $55 million in investments. The audience of the social network is estimated at a quarter of a million active users per month.
