Why Kanye West is buying this free speech social media app Parler

Ye officially knowns as Kanye West has entered into talks to buy free speech platform Parler.

The company confirmed the announcement on Monday confirming that West would assist in ensuring the preservation of free speech.

Parlement Technologies CEO George Farmer welcomed West and added that the deal would change the way the world thinks about free speech.

“This deal will change the world, and change the way the world thinks about free speech. Ye is making a groundbreaking move into the free speech media space and will never have to fear being removed from social media again. Once again, Ye proves that he is one step ahead of the legacy media narrative. Parlement will be honored to help him achieve his goals.”

His suspension was lifted and received a nod from Tesla head Elon Musk.
