Vorlage:Pp-vandalism Vorlage:Use mdy dates Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Infobox website Gettr (stilisierte Schreibweise GETTR) ist eine Social-Media-Plattform, gegründet von Jason Miller, ehemals Berater und Sprecher Donald Trumps. Die Plattform startete im Juli 2021. Die Benutzeroberfläche ist ähnlich der vom Netzwerk Twitter.

Background

After the January 6, 2021 United States Capitol attack, several social media sites restricted Donald Trump's social media usage, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, who banned him from their platforms.[1] Platforms also suspended some Trump supporters and others who were sharing conspiracy theories and extremist content. These actions led to outcry from some conservatives that social media sites and "Big Tech" were silencing conservatives.[2]

After the bans, Trump began looking for alternative platforms,[3][4] eventually creating his own blog to share similar content to what he had previously posted on Twitter. After poor reception, he closed the blog shortly after its launch.[1][5] Jason Miller, then Trump's senior advisor and spokesman since 2016, for several months teased plans by the Trump team to create a social network of their own.[6]

History

In June 2021, it was reported that Miller had left Trump's team to become CEO of a tech startup.[1][7] A beta version of Gettr launched on July 1, 2021, after being added to the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store in mid-June.[3] The platform can also be accessed via the web.[8] Gettr officially launched on July 4, 2021.[9]

According to the Apple App Store listing, Gettr is developed by a company called Chainnov Inc.[10] Miller is CEO,[9] and former Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh is a media affairs consultant for the company.[11] Miller has said the company was financed by a "consortium of international investors" including a foundation tied to Guo Wengui, a Chinese businessman and fugitive with connections to Bannon and Mar-a-Lago.[11][12] Guo has said he is an adviser to the platform.[12] Media sites tied to Guo have suggested that the platform- and its logo- was his idea, though Miller has downplayed the connection.[13] The Daily Beast reported that Gettr was a retooled version of Guo's Chinese internet app, Getome, which Miller confirmed.[11] Getome accounts were wiped before relaunching as Gettr.[14]

On the day of its beta launch, Gettr had several thousand users.[15] Bloomberg reported that Trump would not be joining the platform, nor would he have any financial stake in it, and that he was still planning to create a platform of his own.[16] On July 4, 2021, the day of the platform's official launch, Miller stated that it had "more than half a million users".[17] The platform was briefly hacked the same day. Some high-profile Gettr accounts, including those of Miller and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, were compromised and had their account names changed to show the name of the alleged attacker and a message supporting Palestine.[18][19]

Platform

Gettr has been described as a conservative social media platform.[4] Gettr describes itself as a "Vorlage:Sic social network", and bills itself as an alternative to mainstream social networks, writing in a mission statement that its aims include "fighting cancel culture, promoting common sense, defending free speech, challenging social media monopolies, and creating a true marketplace of ideas".[1][3] The name is a portmanteau of "getting together".[9][12]

Gettr's user interface and feature set have been described as very similar to those of Twitter,[1][3] with some journalists describing it as a "clone".[20][21] Users can write posts on the platform of up to 777 characters in length, upload images, and upload and edit videos that are up to three minutes long.[9] Users can repost other users' posts, as well as explore a feed of trending topics.[1] The platform also includes the ability for users to be verified.[4] The app is rated "M" for "mature" in app stores, meaning it is recommended for those 17 years of age and older.[1] Miller said that the platform plans to add monetization via a "tipping" feature, livestreaming, and a platform to facilitate political donations.[9]

Content

Trending topics on the platform on the day of Gettr's beta launch included pro-Trump slogans, as well as hashtags including racist and antisemitic slurs and those referring to unevidenced theories about the origins of COVID-19.[3][20] Gettr's terms of service allow but do not commit the platform to removing content that is "offensive, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, pornographic, violent, harassing, threatening, abusive, illegal, or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate".[20] In an appearance on Newsmax, Miller touted the app as a "place people won't be canceled", and described the site's moderation system, which he said had already identified "left-of-center people" to "catch them and delete some of that content".[13] Gettr was inundated with pornography and hentai shortly after its launch, and major accounts were hacked.[22][23][24][17][18]
