A guest essay from Parler leadership.
Once Upon a Time in America...
In a nation where freedom of speech was enshrined as a cornerstone of democracy, a digital platform named Parler emerged in 2018, promising a sanctuary for unfiltered expression. At a time when other social media giants were increasingly accused of stifling dissent, Parler positioned itself as a digital town square where voices from all corners of the political spectrum could be heard free from the shadow of censorship.
The Dream of Unfiltered Voices
Parler quickly became a haven for those who felt marginalized or silenced by mainstream platforms, particularly individuals on the political right. It was a space where debates flourished, ideas clashed, and the First Amendment was celebrated as the guiding principle of the digital age. But as the platform grew, so did its role in addressing a broader issue: the intersection of free speech and health freedom in an era where technology could both empower and control.
The Turning Tide
The year 2020 marked a pivotal moment in Parler’s story. As the world grappled with a global health crisis, conversations about health autonomy and personal freedoms took center stage. Parler became a hub for these discussions, offering a platform where individuals could question, challenge, and share alternative perspectives on policies that were reshaping their lives. It was a space where the boundaries of free speech and health freedom blurred, reflecting the complexities of modern society.
Yet, as voices on Parler challenged mainstream health narratives, they faced increasing suppression elsewhere. Major tech platforms ramped up censorship efforts, deplatforming and demonetizing users who spoke out against official health guidelines. From doctors questioning medical mandates to everyday citizens sharing personal experiences, countless individuals found themselves silenced by the very institutions that once claimed to champion free expression.
The Darkest Hour
But it wasn’t just individuals who were silenced; Parler itself became a target. In the aftermath of the events of January 2021, tech giants coordinated an unprecedented takedown of the platform. Accused without merit, Parler was deplatformed overnight, stripped from app stores, and cut off from hosting services. The move sent shockwaves through the digital landscape, exposing the immense power of Big Tech to dictate the boundaries of permissible speech, and monopolistic policies.
Parler’s erasure was more than just the loss of a social network, it was a symbol of the growing tension between individual rights and the unchecked power of tech corporations. The absence of Parler highlighted a troubling question: If speech and health decisions are increasingly controlled by algorithms and corporate interests, how can true autonomy exist? The platform’s silencing served as a stark reminder that without the freedom to make informed choices about one’s health, the power of free speech is diminished.
The Quest for Redemption
Despite the challenges, Parler’s story did not end in silence. The platform’s resurgence in 2023 marked a new chapter, one defined by resilience and a renewed commitment to free speech and health freedom. Under new management, Parler returned with a promise: to create a space where open dialogue about health and politics could coexist, free from the fear of censorship. It was a bold step toward reclaiming the ideals upon which the platform was founded to be a place for everyone regardless of affiliation or ideology a true open town square.
A New Dawn
Today, Parler stands as a testament to the enduring importance of free speech and health freedom. It is a platform where individuals can engage in robust discussions about vaccines, personal liberty, and the right to make informed choices without fear of being silenced. In an age where Big Tech continues to suppress dissenting voices, Parler remains steadfast in its mission to provide a place where the right to speak and the right to question are protected indefinitely, not just when it is popular to do so.
Parler’s journey is not just the story of a social network’s rise, fall, and rebirth it is a reflection of America’s ongoing struggle to uphold individual rights in an increasingly complex world.
The Moral of the Story
Parler’s saga reminds us that freedom of speech and health autonomy are inseparable pillars of a free society. Our founding fathers could not have foreseen a world where technology and health policies would intertwine so deeply, but their vision of individual liberty remains as relevant as ever. Parler’s resilience serves as a beacon for those who believe in the power of open dialogue and the right to make informed choices about one’s health.

A final note from Dr. Malone: I'm thrilled to join Parler, the original platform that stood against censorship and fought for medical freedom. In an era where open debate on health and science is suppressed, having a space for uncensored truth is more critical than ever.

Of coarse it was the big three Amazon, Google and Apple that deplatformed Parler. Three companies that have or would love to create their own monopoly. Just goes to show how absolute power corrupts absolutely. At the least Google should be broken up. Funny how those that can afford huge political donations become protected by both sides of our corrupt political mafia. J.G.
