Parler Condemns NSF’s Covert Censorship Scheme Against Conservative Voices

February 6, 2025 – Parler strongly condemns the shocking revelations that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funneled taxpayer dollars to the National Science Foundation (NSF) for censorship efforts targeting conservatives. A report from The Gateway Pundit has exposed how USAID provided funding to Stanford University’s Internet Observatory, which collaborated with left-wing organizations to suppress free speech, silence conservative journalists, and deplatform high-profile figures—including sitting government officials—on platforms like Parler.

Rather than using taxpayer funds to further scientific research, the National Science Foundation (NSF) instead directed resources toward a secretive, government-backed effort to censor political dissent and control the narrative. This egregious abuse of public funds further exposes the deep corruption entrenched in Washington, where unelected bureaucrats manipulate the system to silence those who dare to challenge the mainstream agenda.

“For four years, Parler has been dragged through the mud—targeted, silenced, and dismissed—all for one simple reason: our unwavering commitment to free speech. There were moments when we questioned if we were alone in this fight, but new revelations confirm what we knew all along. Free expression was under attack, and Parler was right to stand its ground.” said Parler’s CEO Yasser Elgebaly.

Conservatives suspected mass government-backed suppression of speech, and today, those suspicions have been irrefutably confirmed. These revelations prove that Parler and its users were deliberately targeted—not for spreading misinformation, but for refusing to conform to the radical left’s ideology.

Parler commends President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and key officials within the Department of Justice for exposing this blatant assault on free speech. Their unwavering commitment to holding bad actors accountable has been instrumental in bringing this corruption to light.

Parler will not be silenced. We remain steadfast in our mission to protect free expression and provide a platform where all voices—regardless of political affiliation—can be heard.

We call on Congress to launch a full investigation into USAID and NSF’s misuse of taxpayer funds and hold those responsible accountable. The American people deserve to know the full extent of this coordinated censorship campaign, and we demand an end to the weaponization of federal agencies against political opponents.
