How alt-tech social media networks become popular
Over the last few days, Parler, a social media platform created in its own words as an alternative to the heavily censored Twitter, has been in the limelight. Parler was shut down due to its popularity among those supporters of Donald Trump who stormed the Capitol. However, Parler is not unique. There are other alt-tech social media networks and messenger apps such as Gab, Rumble and MeWe, which claim to be different from mainstream social media platforms in that they protect their users’ freedom of speech.

Experts tell ABC News that services like Parler whose app has now been removed from the leading app stores helped create echo chambers for violence and extremist views, then provided a platform for some of the coordination of last week s attack.

(WASHINGTON) As Trump loyalists stormed the U.S. Capitol last week, conservative-leaning social media sites like Parler and Gab erupted with talk of revolution and civil war, with trending hashtags like #StormTheCapitol.
Experts tell ABC News that services like Parler whose app has now been removed from the leading app stores helped create echo chambers for violence and extremist views, then provided a platform for some of the coordination of last week s attack.
And now that the tech industry is moving to crack down on toxic rhetoric, many of those voices have gone in search of alternative platforms.
