Results: Are you using the "Free Speech" App Parler?
Published on 11/24/2020
Parler is an American microblogging and social networking service launched in August 2018. Parler has a significant user base of Trump supporters, conservatives, and right-wing extremists. Posts on the service often contain far-right content, antisemitism, and conspiracy theories.
Thanks to all the attention in recent days, Parler is now one of the most downloaded apps on Apple and Android smartphones. It has hit 10 million members — more than double the 4.5 million it had last week, according to Jeffrey Wernick, the company's chief operating officer.
"Our growth is not attributable to any one person or group, but rather to Parler's efforts to earn our community's trust, both by protecting their privacy, and being transparent about the way in which their content is handled on our platform," Wernick said in a statement.
Still, that is just a tiny fraction of Twitter's 187 million daily users and Facebook's nearly 2 billion.
Parler looks a lot like Twitter: You follow a feed of accounts, which post messages known as "Parleys."
