What is GETTR?
FORMER President Donald Trump has been laying low from social media since he was booted off Twitter and Facebook. The suspension from the websites comes after Trump was accused of allegedly inciting the deadly Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. GETTR is a new conservative social media platform founded by Trumps team. The app is being led by Trumps former spokesman, Jason Miller. Due to the former presidents suspension, Trumps team launched their own app which claims its mission is also to promote common sense...challenge social media monopolies, and create a true marketplace of ideas.  It is not clear what the former president's role in the site will be. 4 GETTR is described as a 'non-bias social network for people all over the world' Credit: GETTR  The platform - described on the app stores as a "non-bias social network for people all over the world" - was updated on Wednesday, June 30, 2021, after going live last month. The app is available to download for free on Google Play and the Apple store. On the Apple store, GETTR has received rave reviews, earning 4.9 stars out of five. Fans of the app have taken to discuss the interface and user experience, as one user wrote: Speech-free platform for patriots of a common world free from the Chinese Communist Party. Unfortunately, Getter seems to be one of the very few platform that allow you to tell the truth. It is definitely a good alternative of the big tech oligarchs that censor your speech and only allow you to see and write what they want you to do.  4 Trump's app GETTR has received rave reviews and 4.9 stars out of five on the Apple store Credit: GETTR  Anothers review read: No one would suspend me any more. I have been banned by twitter few times since I post something about the pandemic origin. This app looks greater than twitter. Hopefully it run by real free organization. I could enjoy the real free speech again. Thanks!  A third wrote: Gettr is an intuitive and user friendly social media app. I have no problem at all when setting up an account. In a few minutes, I was able to follow users that i want to follow. In early June, Trump praised Nigeria for banning Twitter in the country and expressed remorse for not thinking of doing the same - but said he'll get another chance in a potential 2024 run. At the time of his ban back in January of 2021, Trump said he predicted that Twitter would try to silence him and that the company would not exist for long if it were not for Section 230, which protects websites from lawsuits if users post illegal content. He said he has been negotiating with "various other sites" and would have a "big announcement soon," and possibly build his own platform. 4 Trump was upset he was banned permanently from Twitter back in January of 2021 Credit: AFP  In the since-deleted @POTUS tweet, Trump claimed that "Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me" and the "75,000,000 great patriots who voted for me. "We will not be SILENCED! Twitter is not about FREE SPEECH," Trump tweeted. "They are all about promoting a Radical Left platform where some of the most viscous people in the world are allowed to speak freely."
