Gettr: the new Social Network

Meet Gettr, the social network based on freedom of expression.

The new social network Gettr was launched last Sunday (4), Independence Day of the United States and already has more than 500,000 subscribers. Created by Donald Trump's team members, the idea of creating its own platform came about after the former president was permanently banned from Twitter, Youtube and Facebook until 2023.

 

According to the team responsible for developing the app, it is a social network based on freedom of expression, which rejects the culture of cancellation and political censorship. On the first day of its launch, the app was hacked: "The problem was detected and sealed in a matter of minutes, and all the intruder could do was change some usernames," says Jason Miller, the former president's right-hand man.

With an interface and features very similar to Twitter, posts must contain up to 777 characters, in addition to hosting three-minute videos and allow live streams. In app stores like Apple and Google Store, Gettr advertises itself as “an unbiased social network for people all over the world”.


It remains to be seen whether Trump is directly involved in creating the new social network. Since being censored, the businessman has been running a blog called From the Desk of Donald Trump, where he posts messages, shares photos and raises money for the campaign.

During an interview with Fox News, Miller said he hopes Trump will soon join Gettr: "There's a reserved account waiting for him, but that's a decision he must make himself.
