Parler: The new ‘free speech’ social media platform

Parler is a growing platform that calls itself the “world’s premier free speech social network.” But is it free speech? or hate speech?

Parler has created a space for people who share a similar world view and those that feel their opinions are being blocked by more traditional social media sites. User numbers spiked dramatically after the 2020 US Presidential election and Parler believes this is because other social media platforms are curtailing the spread of information, and censoring right wing voices and opinions.

It’s similar to Twitter in that there’s a newsfeed, and users can upload images and write posts, but that’s where the similarities end. Unlike Twitter there is no fact checking, so Parler users can say and post whatever they like as long as it’s not against the law.

To discuss this new platform we're joined by Mark Pesce, futurist and host of Podcast One’s The Next Billion Seconds and Vicki, an Australian Parler user.

In today's headlines:

  • Tensions with China reach fever pitch over doctored photo
  • Photo alleges Australian Soldier drinking beer out of dead Taliban fighters prosthetic leg
  • Australia edges closer to border freedom by Christmas
  • Tasmanians condemn planned Port Arthur gunman film
