Ye, the rapper formerly known as Yeezus, decided to buy a platform for right-wing extremists after a month of spouting racism, antisemitism and just straight oddities.
The husband of a conservative political pundit is the CEO of the app.
The deal was announced yesterday by Parler's parent company, which said that it would never have to fear being removed from social media again.
The company stated that the proposed acquisition would assure Parler a future role in creating an uncanceable ecosystems. This quarter is when the deal is expected to close. The financial aspects of the acquisition have not been made public.
billionaires and racists used to be able to say whatever they wanted, knowing the class they wanted to oppress wouldn't call them out.
These days aren't like those days. With his agreement to buy Parler, he represents another conservative billionaire attempting to wield control and influence over social media platforms, using the idea of free speech as a ruse to continue fomenting hate speech and ginning up right-wing ideologues.
