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. For more details, you can read the full article from The Economist.
