Abstract/Contents

Abstract: The Stanford Internet Observatory team began to study dynamics on Parler during our work as part of the Election Integrity Partnership, which focused on assessing voting-related misinformation. While much of our research focused on crossplatform spread of particular hashtags, we also undertook a study of account creation and growth dynamics on Parler, and we discuss some preliminary findings in this report. These include novel finds related to moderation—of interest given that lack of moderation is one of the central claims in Amazon’s decision to cease hosting the app—as well as engagement and posting statistics, and account creation dynamics.
