By now, you've probably heard about Parler, the social media platform founded in 2018, but increasingly popularized by Conservatives during the culture wars of 2020. 

BACKGROUND 

As some of the mainstream social media platforms began in recent months to strengthen their speech policies, to flag posts for disseminating misinformation, or to shut down certain accounts altogether, Parler capitalized, and pushed to brand itself as the "nonpartisan Public Square" platform that would "endeavor[] to allow all free speech that is lawful."  Much like the other, more traditional social media platforms, however, SPAM, criminal activity, infringement, defamation, nudity/pornography, gratuitous violence, impersonation, and doxing are all still prohibited  on Parler.
