Maybe Gettr should have paid attention to security before going live.

Just another knockoff site doomed to obscurity and irrelevance.

Well, in fairness to Gettr, it was a BETA site and used the same code as Twitter originally did. Maybe that's where they went wrong?

You might have something there. Using 15 year old code on an untested site may have been a mistake on their part.

Reality check.

Facts are just that. Not based upon the network.

You simply can't have your own facts.
it's from Business Insider????? Oh well then.

This is this douchebag who even Maggie Haberman said was FOS but "entertaining":

Quote:
Wolff's first book about Trump's presidency, "Fire and Fury," published in 2018, contained a series of embarrassing revelations about Trump, prompting Trump to call the writer a "total loser" in a tweet.
https://www.businessinsider.com/fire...-claims-2018-1

since you pay Business Insider to aggregate other sources for you, I'm sue you'll enjoy the read.

This site was built for Trump and advertises free speech so I find it odd that he would be suspended.
He hasn’t joined Gettr yet, read that article. You were following an online imposter.

I find it odd that his supporters are now claiming that GETRR suspended a verified account run by an imposter.

Even odder is the claim that Trump has not yet joined. Passing up an opportunity to spread his nonsense and obtain donations seems out of character.

Is GETTR a dating app or something? What is Trump up to?

The willingness of people to accept and absorb propaganda these days is beyond strange. There's some sort of twisted psychological phenomenon going on, and you're part of it.
