Kanye West's agreement to acquire the social media site Parlor is analyzed as a strategic move involving Candace Owens and her husband, George Farmer. The hosts speculate that West is "buying" Owens' influence and cultural reach rather than just a technology platform. They also discuss the internal friction at The Daily Wire regarding Owens' support for West and her documentary on Black Lives Matter.
Adam Curry and Mo Facts open the episode discussing the recent wave of social media deplatforming following the events of early January 2021. They examine the systematic removal of the Parler network from the internet by Silicon Valley competitors, characterizing it as anti-competitive behavior rather than a simple content moderation issue. Mo explains his decision to step back from platforms like Instagram and Twitter, describing them as toxic environments.
