Das amerikanische soziale Netz Parler hat eine physische Betriebsadresse in der Europäischen Union [erklärt](https://github.com/OpenTermsArchive/pga-versions/commit/d63f05bbcbf2b0ebf087e279429a085468d7d74f#diff-f5ac1f4939c7895c9d3bdda244e6f8b6308288b30be6b9a486b142af45c739bdR88). Die Adresse befindet sich in Köln, Deutschland, im [MiOM-Raum](https://miom.space/en/), „ein Kollektiv mit der Vision, bezahlbaren Raum für kreative Synergien zu schaffen.“

Parler ist außerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika ein wenig bekanntes soziales Netzwerk, das hauptsächlich von amerikanischen Konservativen genutzt und gefördert wird. Es wurde insbesondere zur Koordinierung des Sturms auf das US-Kapitol im Jahr 2021 genutzt, was zu seiner [Aussetzung](https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55598887) durch die App-Stores führte.

Diese Ausweitung auf die Europäische Union findet vor dem Hintergrund der verstärkten Präsenz und des politischen Aktivismus der großen amerikanischen sozialen Medien statt. Am 7. Januar [erklärte](https://www.threads.net/@zuck/post/DEhgYx4JbEG) Mark Zuckerberg, dass Meta „mit Präsident Trump zusammenarbeiten wird, um gegen ausländische Regierungen vorzugehen, die amerikanische Unternehmen verfolgen, um sie stärker zu zensieren“, und [dämpfte seine Beschränkungen für Hassreden]({{< relref path="meta-dampens-hate-speech-policy.de" >}}). Am 9. Januar [veranstaltete](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr7errxp5jmo) Elon Musk eine Diskussion auf X zur Unterstützung der rechtsextremen Partei AfD.

American social media Parler [added](https://github.com/OpenTermsArchive/pga-versions/commit/d63f05bbcbf2b0ebf087e279429a085468d7d74f#diff-f5ac1f4939c7895c9d3bdda244e6f8b6308288b30be6b9a486b142af45c739bdR88) a physical address of operations in the European Union. The address is in Köln, Germany, at the [MiOM space](https://miom.space/en/), “a collective from Cologne with the vision of creating affordable space for creative synergies.”

Little known outside of the United States of America, Parler is a social network mostly used and promoted by American conservatives. It was notably used to coordinate the 2021 storming of the US Capitol, leading to its [suspension](https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55598887) by app stores.

This expansion towards the European Union takes place in a context of increased presence and political activism from major American social media. On January 7th, Mark Zuckerberg [stated](https://www.threads.net/@zuck/post/DEhgYx4JbEG) that Meta will “work with President Trump to push back against foreign governments going after American companies to censor more” and [dampened its hate speech restrictions]({{< relref path="meta-dampens-hate-speech-policy" >}}). On January 9th, Elon Musk [hosted](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr7errxp5jmo) a discussion on X to support Germany’s far-right party AfD.
