GETTR launches on July 4th, declares independence from Big Tech social media oligarchs
Former top Trump advisor Jason Miller formally launched GETTR today, a new social media platform which celebrates free speech, rejects cancel culture and provides best-in-class technology and user experience. Out of Beta testing and in App stores now, GETTR became officially active at 10:00 a.m. EDT on July 4th, a date chosen for users to symbolically declare their independence from Silicon Valley social media giants. GETTR users will not be de-platformed for their political views and will enjoy superior performance and more features than are available on many existing platforms.
“GETTR is a direct challenge to the social media oligarchs from Silicon Valley, and what better day to declare independence from their woke tyranny than July 4th?” said Miller, GETTR’s Chief Executive Officer. “GETTR is the marketplace of ideas. We will not cancel people for their political opinions, and GETTR offers far more features and better technology than anything else out there.”
GETTR’s name is derived from the idea of “getting together” as a community on social media. While available for only a short time during Beta testing, GETTR surged into the Top 10 among all free Apps downloaded from the Apple App Store, reaching number nine, and also ranked third among social networking Apps. In the Google Play App Store, GETTR ranked number two among all free Apps even before the formal launch.
“The explosion of interest in GETTR, even before we officially launched, proves there’s tremendous demand for a fair-minded social media community where the exchange of ideas is actually encouraged,” Miller said. “GETTR is for people of all political stripes from around the world. We’re not afraid of ideas that challenge our own. That’s what the online experience should always be about.”
GETTR, which will verify accounts for certain users, is taking on social media monopolies with technology that surpasses virtually anything previously available and with more exciting features, such as:
Longer messages – up to 777 characters.
Sharper and clearer images.
Ability to post longer videos – up to 3 minutes long.
Video editing within the App.
Importation of existing Tweets to GETTR upon signup for many users, so users’ hard work, creativity and intellectual property joins the GETTR platform with them.
Additional features to be unveiled in the near future include:
In-App “tipping” and online appreciation for content creators.
Ability to donate to political campaigns.
Live-streaming videos.
“Users won’t have to choose between conservative-leaning platforms with inferior technology and slicker liberal Apps that crush their freedom of expression,” Miller said. “With GETTR, they’ll get back their freedom of speech and have a superior product at the same time.”
GETTR USA, Inc., is a privately held American company. Its mission is to provide a best-in-class technology platform for the marketplace of ideas in order to share freedom and democracy around the world.
