Musical artist and fashion designer Kanye West, who now goes by the name Ye, has agreed to acquire social media platform Parler, the company’s parent Parlement Technologies announced Monday.

Parler bears some resemblance to Twitter TWTR, +0.72%, where users can create posts called “parleys” within a character limit. Parler users can also follow other users and engage with them in the comments section. For example, Parler has allowed accounts associated with the QAnon movement, an American political conspiracy movement with several false claims about numerous topics that can be found here, while other social media platforms have taken steps to remove QAnon-affiliated accounts.“If you can say it on the street of New York, you can say it on Parler,” Parler co-founder and then-CEO John Matze said in 2020.

Parler relaunched in Feb. 2021, after updating some of the company’s guidelines, and has since been reinstated on Apple and Google. Parler was founded by Rebekah Mercer and John Matze — Mercer is the daughter of billionaire Breitbart founder Robert Mercer. How much is Parler worth?
