The news was announced in a press release. Parlement said in the release that it had entered into an agreement in principle to sell Parler to Ye and expected to close the deal later this year. The amount of the sale was not made public. Parlement would continue to provide Parler with technical support.
Ye's purchase of Parler is a bold stance against Big Tech. The artist will lead the fight to create a non-cancelable environment.
Ye said that in a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial, we have to make sure we have the right to express ourselves.
The link to Ye's profile on Parler was included in the release and had 526 followers.
George Farmer is the CEO of Parlement.
The way the world views free speech will be changed by this deal. Ye is moving into the free speech media space and will never have to worry about being removed from social media again. He proves once again that he is ahead of the legacy media narrative. He will be helped by Parlement to achieve his goals.
The post about the sale was published on Monday.
The artist violated their policies and their accounts were MzE MzEd. The artist's antisemitic comments, which invoked Jewish control and greed, were condemned by Jewish advocacy groups.
Gizmodo reached out to Parler on Monday morning to inquire about Ye's offer, but did not hear back by the time of publication.
There is an update at 8:21 a.m. on 10 17/2022. Additional details on the proposed deal have been added to the post.
