The platform, popular among right-wingers, has had a tough few months. After Ye's acquisition of the site fell apart, a new owner plans to reset.
Upon announcing the completed acquisition of Parler, Starboard seemingly took the site offline. Coyne told the WSJ that he intends to keep Parler’s app and web platform on pause while Starboard concocts a plan to revive it bigger and better than before. “It’s going to take a breath of fresh air,” he said. But regardless of any challenges, the company believes that acquiring Parler is a net good.
“Parler app as it is currently constituted will be pulled down from operation to undergo a strategic assessment,” that statement adds. Starboard offered no details on timeline or how long Parler would be down for—nor information on what any revived version of the platform might be.In an email to Gizmodo, Coyne said. “there is not currently a defined timeframe for the launch of what Parler will transition into.
As part of the transition, current Parler CEO George Farmer is stepping down. Igor Shalkevich, the company’s chief development officer, will take over the head exec position, per WSJ. The companies are keeping the financial terms of their deal under wraps for now.
