Kanye West's deal to buy the self-described "free speech" social network Parler lasted only a month.

Parler's owner announced the termination of the deal shortly after West—who now goes by Ye—praised Adolf Hitler and Nazis in an appearance yesterday on Alex Jones' Infowars show.

The deal was struck after Ye made antisemitic posts that got his Twitter account locked, putting it into a read-only mode while leaving it visible to the public.

As Deadline noted, "West's Twitter account was initially locked temporarily for 12 hours after the offensive tweet, which was deleted," but the "account then disappeared with a 'suspended' label over it." Ye has started posting on Truth Social, the social network launched by former President Donald Trump.

When his now-terminated deal to buy Parler was announced, Ye said he intended to protect conservative opinions.

"The proposed acquisition will assure Parler a future role in creating an uncancelable ecosystem where all voices are welcome," Parler said at the time.

Apple kicked Parler off its app store in January 2021 after Trump supporters attacked the US Capitol.

Apple allowed Parler back on its app store in April 2021 after the social network changed its content moderation.
