Parler is a social media app that was launched in 2018 as an alternative to other social media platforms. This app is loved by the supporters of former US President Donald Trump and the conservative public. The app is currently available on the Google Play Store, but it was removed by Google after the January 2021 US Capitol riots.
A new parent company, Parlement Technologies, was created last month as part of an overhaul that Parlor did. Now Ye gonna buy it. Ye’s Instagram and Twitter accounts have been banned in the past. Recently, Twitter removed a post that was condemned by online users as anti-Semitic.
Recently, former US President Donald Trump’s social media app Truth Social has been approved on the Google Play Store. The app was launched in February this year and till now was available only on the Apple App Store. Google said that Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the company that runs Truth Social, will soon list this app on the Play Store.
