Ye has stopped using Parler, a contentious social media programme marketed as a “free speech” substitute for Twitter. Ye, now known as Kanye West, first agreed to purchase Parlement Technologies from the company for an undisclosed sum in October. The corporation claims that the agreement has been terminated. According to a statement from Parler, “Parlement Technologies has confirmed that the company and Ye have mutually decided to cancel the goal of selling Parler.” In the middle of November, this choice was taken in the best interests of both parties. Parler will keep looking for new chances to expand and advance the infrastructure for our thriving neighbourhood.
Hours after Ye appeared on Alex Jones’ programme and praised the Nazis, saying, “I like Hitler,” news of the deal’s collapse broke. The arrangement was scrapped due to “Ye’s recent and ongoing commercial issues,” according to a Parler spokeswoman, who declined to comment on whether these statements were a factor in the decision to do so.

Following a string of antisemitic statements that led to his suspension from Twitter, Ye first declared he would purchase Parler. (Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, later welcomed him back to the site.) According to George Farmer, CEO of Parlement Technologies, “the proposed acquisition will assure Parler a future role in developing an uncancelable ecosystem where all opinions are welcome.”
