Revival of the far-right’s preferred social-media platform sparks intrigue

The⁤ far-right’s favorite social media platform is making a comeback. In 2020, Twitter was a different place, with Elon Musk and Donald Trump ‍making headlines. Some Republicans, tired of⁤ big-tech companies, started migrating to Parler, a rival platform with less content⁤ moderation. However,⁢ Parler soon gained a darker reputation due to the spread of misinformation and far-right conspiracy theories. After a legal battle⁣ and an attempt by Kanye​ West to buy it, Parler eventually went down. Now, after being acquired by a Texas-based company, Parler is promising a big comeback. The platform​ rejects its association with the January 6th Capitol riot and claims⁤ to have shared concerns about violent activity with law enforcement⁢ before the event.
