Parler was purchased by a new buyer after its deal with Kanye West fell through. Parler's parent company, Parlement Technologies, announced it agreed to sell the app to Starboard, a publisher of conservative news websites.
Parler's parent company, Parlement Technologies, announced on Friday it agreed to sell the app to Starboard, the publisher of conservative news websites that include BizPac Review and American Wire News. The website will go down temporarily as Starboard finalizes its plans for updating the platform.
The two companies declined to detail the specific amount paid. Parler CEO George Farmer will leave the company, and Parler Chief Development Officer Igor Shalkevich will take over as leader. Ye offered to acquire Parler in October after his Instagram and Twitter accounts were suspended. The deal is believed to have occurred due to Ye's relationship with Farmer's wife, conservative pundit Candace Owens.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
Parler made headlines in January 2021 after Apple and Google removed the app from their app stores and Amazon Web Services removed the service from its cloud computing services. The Big Tech companies claimed Parler had not done enough to stop or block posts inciting the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. Google and Apple have since reinstated Parler in their app stores.
