Parler, social media site removed from app stores after January 6, plans return

Parler, a social media platform popular with right-wing audiences that was removed from app stores after hosting calls for violence around Jan. 6, 2021, will relaunch early next year, the company’s new owners announced Monday.

“We’re committed to bringing Parler back online,” Ryan Rhodes, Parler’s new CEO, said in a statement. The app was shut down in April after it was purchased by Starboard, a digital media company.
