UPDATE: Parler, the app that swears it isn’t just for Nazis, is back online thanks to Nazis
After getting essentially blacklisted last month following its role in helping foment the deadly January 6 MAGA putsch on Capitol Hill, the social media app and hate-speech breeding ground known as Parler (not to be confused with Parlor) is unfortunately back online for the segment of the Internet that looks at Twitter and thinks to themselves, “This place is too politically correct for me.”
Parler has long billed itself as the “premier free speech platform,” which in reality means that its a space where anyone can spew whatever vile, bigoted nonsense they want via the alt-social media site. And boy howdy, do those cretins know how to spew. Anyway, who are the delightful scumbags responsible for refilling Parler’s toxic cesspool for reactionary politics? That dishonor can apparently be bestowed upon Epik, Inc., a domain platform registrar based in Washington State. Don’t let the stock image of a nice African American small business owner on their homepage fool you: Epik has a history of backing Nazi-adjacent sites like Gab, Patriots.win, and 8Chan.
