, the right-wing social network known for welcoming waves of conservative figures booted off other platforms in the wake of the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, is going dark after being acquired by digital media firm Starboard.

The buyer, founded in 2018 as Olympic Media, plans to revive Parler after a retooling and expand it into other business areas. “No reasonable person believes that a Twitter clone just for conservatives is a viable business anymore,” Starboard said in a statement.

Financial terms of the latest acquisition were not disclosed, but Starboard said it expects the deal to be accretive to its financials by the end of June.
