Parler, a social media platform popular among conservatives, will temporarily shut down after being acquired by the hedge fund Starboard, the company says.

SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images"Parler's large user base and additional strategic assets represent an enormous opportunity for Starboard to continue to build aggressively in our media and publishing business," Ryan Coyne, CEO of Starboard, said in a statement.

"The team at Parler has built an exceptional audience and we look forward to integrating that audience across all of our existing platforms," he added. Parler was removed from iPhone and Android app stores after the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The platform was later reinstated to those app stores.

Launched five years ago, Parler characterized itself as a platform where a user could "speak freely and express yourself openly without fear of being 'deplatformed' for your views," according to the homepage on its previous website. Parler is among a host of alternative content platforms -- including Truth Social, Rumble and Gab -- considered to have less stringent content moderation policies than apps such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Conservatives go there to live in their lies and hate

Media drove it to destruction 2 years ago.

I completely forgot that site existed.

YDanasmithdutra What gives….it’s not like the Mercer’s need the money. Is this a hide and go seek corporate restructuring the way Elon made Twitter vanish under new corporate forms? Or maybe to do with Jack Smith?

LOL

Can you just make that shut down permanent? Probably will save relationships and lives.

Go Brady Go

I am absolutely disgusted and outraged!!!!!! Get them back up now. I can’t stand this app
