Parler has agreed to fully sell the app to West, but the parties have yet to enter into a definitive purchase agreement.
Kanye West is in the process of acquiring the conservative social platform Parler.
Parler’s parent company Parlement Technologies announced the move in a press release on Monday, saying it has entered into an agreement in principle to sell the social media app to West, who has legally changed his name to Ye.
“The proposed acquisition will assure Parler a future role in creating an uncancelable ecosystem where all voices are welcome,” the company said in the press release.
West just earlier this month was locked out of his Twitter and Instagram accounts for antisemitic posts. He has since created an account on Parler — which launched in September 2018 and is favored by many conservatives who take issue with moderation policies on mainstream apps such as Facebook and Twitter.

If you want to understand why Kanye’s antisemitism is so harmful and people have to speak out, just look at the replies and quote tweets here.
Mainstreaming it gives permission to others to normalize such bigotry, which then will inevitably justify actions/violence based on it. https://t.co/6d7NQ1m0O3
