Kanye West\u00a0plans to acquire Parler<\/a>, a social media app popular among conservatives, the network\u2019s parent company announced Monday.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The move by the rapper, legally known as Ye, to grab up the app comes\u00a0after he was banned<\/a>\u00a0from Twitter and Instagram for\u00a0antisemitic posts<\/a>\u00a0on those platforms.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIn a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves,\u201d Ye said in a statement announcing the agreement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Parler has pitched itself as an alternative to Twitter, describing itself as a \u201cpremier free speech app\u201d with limited content moderation, geared toward conservatives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The\u00a0controversial app<\/a>\u00a0has been making its way\u00a0back into major app stores<\/a>\u00a0after it was\u00a0pulled last year<\/a>\u00a0in the wake of the rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
