Parler (App)

Parler is an American social networking service and alternative to Twitter. Its name is the French word for "to speak" (and is pronounced like "parlor"). It was founded in 2018 and based in Henderson, Nevada by John Matze and Jared Thomson. Notable users include Candace Owens, Laura Loomer, Mike Lee, Milo Yiannopoulos, Paul Joseph Watson and Roger Stone.

To sign up for a Parler account, a mobile phone number is needed when registering, which effectively blocks those who do not have cell phones from obtaining an account. Hate speech is not a bannable offense on Parler according to its company's CEO, John Matze.
