About

Parler is a microblogging and social networking service generally deemed similar to Twitter in its functionality. Parler is marketed as an unbiased, free-speech social media platform and has gained notoriety as a haven for social media personalities who have been banned by mainstream platforms, earning Parler popularity among conservative, far-right and alt-right users. In early January 2021, after the storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of Trump, several big tech companies suspended or banned Parler from their app stores and web-hosting services due to the platform's involvement in hosting user-generated content leading up to the riots.

History

On August 28th, August 2020, American enterpreneur and developer John Matze Jr. launched Parler (pronounced "par-lay" from the French word for "to speak"), a social media network marketed as a "non-biased free-speech" social media platform.[1] In addition to the website version of the platform, iOS[2] and Android[3] apps for it were launched.

Features

Parler is a microblogging and social media network largely similar to its main competitior Twitter in its functionality. Unlike Tiwtter, the website has a 1000 letter limit versus Twitter's 240 limit. Instead of "tweets," Parler posts are referred to as "parleys."

Parler states "offering the world a platform that protects user’s rights, supports publishers and builds online communities" as its goal. Parler's community guidelines[7] state that the platform does not allow defamation, blackmail, pornography, criminal solicitation, impersonation and incitement of violence ('fighting words").

Highlights

In June 2020, Parler gained major recognition online after several prominent conservative social media personalities and politicians announced that they would be launching accoings on the platform, including Ted Cruz, Katie Hopkins and Carpe Donktum, the latter two of whom had been recently banned from Twitter.
