Right-Wing Social Media Platform Parler Plans 2024 Relaunch

New Ownership Under PDS Partners Aims for 'Powerful Resurgence' with Enhanced Technology

Parler, the right-wing social media platform that was taken offline following the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, is planning a relaunch in the first quarter of 2024.
The platform was recently acquired by PDS Partners, a limited liability corporation consisting of former Parler Chief Marketing Officer Elise Pierotti, new CEO Ryan Rhodes, and others who have chosen to remain anonymous.
Anti-human trafficking activist Jaco Booyens will serve as the chief strategy officer for the relaunched platform.
Parler, which had a small user base even among right-wing and libertarian-focused apps, was previously taken offline by Amazon over its unwillingness to remove posts inciting violence.
The relaunched platform will no longer use Amazon’s cloud service AWS, instead relying on other technology including a 'hyper-scaled private cloud.'
