0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Dan Pramak and welcome to Axios Recap, brought to you by the American Beverage Association. |
0:08.0 | Today is Thursday, November 12th. The Dow is down. U.S. COVID hospitalizations are way up, |
0:14.0 | and we're focused on Parlor, America's fastest growing social app. |
0:19.0 | If you go into the Apple or Google Play app stores right now, the most downloaded app isn't |
0:25.6 | TikTok or Snapchat or Zoom. |
0:28.1 | It's Parlor, a two-year-old social network that's largely become the refuge of Trump supporters |
0:33.5 | who believe legacy social networks like Facebook and Twitter have become too restrictive. |
0:39.1 | Unlike those apps, Parlor doesn't care if users share misinformation, whether that be about |

1:19.6 | The bottom line, Parlor has found product market fit, particularly as President Trump continues |
1:24.3 | to act like he didn't lose the election. |
1:26.9 | Its future, though, also remains a |
1:28.7 | little bit like Trump's, up in the air. In 15 seconds, we'll go deeper with Amy Peacoff, an attorney |
1:34.5 | and Parlor's chief policy officer. But first, this. We're joined now by Amy Peacoff, Parlor's Chief Policy Officer. So Amy, let's just start here |
1:47.9 | with adoption. Reports say that you guys have kind of doubled the network size to around 8 million |
1:53.0 | users. Is that accurate or is there an even larger number? I think it's even larger by now. |
