GETTR, Trump-world’s new online platform, is going about as well as you’d expect (Politico):
The social network — started a month ago by members of former President Donald Trump’s inner circle — features reams of jihadi-related material, including graphic videos of beheadings, viral memes that promote violence against the West and even memes of a militant executing Trump in an orange jumpsuit similar to those used in Guantanamo Bay.
The rapid proliferation of such material is placing GETTR in the awkward position of providing a safe haven for jihadi extremists online as it attempts to establish itself as a free speech MAGA-alternative to sites like Facebook and Twitter.
The day after an Islamic State-affiliated Facebook account mentioned GETTR, there were at least 15 new Islamic State accounts there expressing themselves strongly.
Days after GETTR was launched on July 1, Islamic State supporters began urging their followers on other social networks to sign up to the pro-Trump network, in part to take the jihadi fight directly to MAGA nation.

Some of the jihadi posts on GETTR from early July were eventually taken down, highlighting that the pro-Trump platform had taken at least some steps to remove the harmful material.
Supposing they hit GETTR with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — just as “in its early days, it was flooded with a wide spectrum of pornography”? Or perhaps inject it with disinfectant, or almost a cleaning?
