"I'm Done": Right-Wing Personalities Ditching Twitter for Parler Over Claims of Censorship
Fed up by what they perceive as political bias and increasing censorship from Big Tech, a growing number of right-wing media personalities, pundits and politicians have begun to switch over to Parler, a Twitter alternative that markets itself as a champion of free speech. Although launched in 2018, the migration to Parler, dubbed "Twexit" by some, has been given extra impetus in the last few weeks, driven largely by Twitter's ongoing and very high profile spat with President Donald Trump over incendiary tweets as well as the company's decision to hand permanent bans to popular pro-Trump accounts like self-described conservative "memesmith" Carpe Donktum and British white nationalist Katie Hopkins.
