Parler is a United States-based microblogging and social networking service launched in August 2018, promoted as an alternative to Twitter and particularly marketed to political conservatives in the United States.[4]
Parler (French: parler, lit. ‘to speak’) was founded by CEO John Matze in Henderson, Nevada in 2018.[5][6][7] Matze graduated from University of Denver in 2014 with a computing degree.[1] Its rollout was in August 2018.[4][8]
From December 2018 through 2019, the service’s user base grew after prominent politically conservative personalities, among them Brad Parscale, Senator Mike Lee, and activist Candace Owens, signed up to and publicized the network to their social media followers on other platforms.[6] Gavin McInnes and Milo Yiannopoulos have also joined.[1] Parscale had met with Matze in early May 2019 prior to signing up.[7] (As of July 15, 2020, Parscale had posted 10 times, four of which were complaints about Parler’s functionality.[9]) Other users include conservative personalities banned from Twitter or other networks.[8]
According to Matze, as of May 2019, Parler had about 100,000 users.[6] Parler said its user base had more than doubled in June 2019 when around 200,000 accounts from Saudi Arabia signed up to the network after allegedly suffering mass censorship and suspensions of accounts on Twitter.[10] Parler described these accounts as part of “the nationalist movement of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia”. Twitter had deactivated hundreds of accounts that pushed talking points favorable to the Saudi government, describing them as inauthentic accounts in an “electronic army” pushing the Saudi government agenda.
Donald Trump ally David Clarke Jr. said he would join Parler in March 2020 after Twitter deleted several of his tweets for promoting coronavirus disinformation.[11] Many right-wing and conservative media and political figures joined Parler in June 2020, including Donald Trump Jr., Dan Bongino, Rudy Giuliani, Katie Hopkins, Alex Jones, Mark Dice, and Ted Cruz.[12][13]
In early June 2020, Dan Bongino announced he had purchased an “ownership stake” in Parler.[14]
An Indian company? Another reason to Skip it as we don’t need to be dependent upon foreign companies, especially countries like India and China that are not friends or allies.
