Parler, the social media platform that once courted Kanye West as a buyer and was popular with the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, has been shut down by new ownership, according to an announcement on the company’s website.
But the Parler app, which was purchased by Arlington, Virginia-based media company Starboard, is expected to return eventually.
“While the Parler app as it is currently constituted will be pulled down from operation to undergo a strategic assessment, we at Starboard see tremendous opportunities across multiple sectors to continue to serve marginalized or even outright censored communities—even extending beyond domestic politics,” Coyne continued.
Many of the rioters that day used Parler to post text, images and video of the insurrection, some of which would later be used in court to prosecute the insurrectionists. Trump has notably not been charged for his role in the insurrection. At least not yet.
