Digital Conglomerate Buys Right-Wing App Parler

A digital conglomerate has acquired the right-wing social media app Parler, which was recently banned by major tech companies such as Apple, Google, and Amazon.

The acquisition was made by a company called SkySilk, which provides web hosting services. SkySilk CEO Kevin Matossian said in a statement that the company believes in free speech and wants to provide a platform for all voices, regardless of political affiliation.

Parler has been popular among conservatives and right-wing extremists who feel that mainstream social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are biased against them. The app gained even more attention after the 2020 US presidential election, when many users claimed that the election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

However, Parler was banned by Apple, Google, and Amazon after it was found to have been used to plan and coordinate the January 6th attack on the US Capitol. The app was also criticized for its lack of moderation and its tolerance of hate speech and conspiracy theories.

It remains to be seen how SkySilk will handle these issues and whether Parler will be able to regain its popularity and credibility. Some experts have expressed concern that the app could become a breeding ground for extremism and violence.

Regardless of the outcome, the acquisition of Parler by SkySilk highlights the ongoing debate over free speech and the role of social media in shaping public discourse.
