Jason Miller

Gettr, the fledgling, right wing social media site founded by Trump acolyte Jason Miller, has apparently become a place where people freely share illegal images of children. Due to the site’s lax regulations and moderation, people interested in sharing images that would get you a call from the FBI in most circumstances are flocking to Gettr in order to express their perverted views freely. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

The pro-Trump social media site, GETTR, which was founded by former Trump acolyte, Jason Miller, is apparently having a real problem with child pornography on the site. Here’s what’s going on, apparently, because GETTR has such lax rules and virtually no moderation whatsoever, people who want to share these disturbing images of children have found it to be a welcoming home for them. They enjoy it because they can finally express themselves and their perverted ways freely without having to worry about being censored. Because again, GETTR really only uses, you know, user moderators. So if a user is unhappy with something that gets posted, they can flag it and send it in. But apparently that’s not happening with most of the child pornography being posted on GETTR. In fact, the situation is so bad that the Stanford Internet Observatory decided to run a test and they put out some benign images.

You know, that would be questionable, not one single flag, nothing that would have that should have, by the way, gotten flagged, gotten removed. Nope, nothing. And they’re blaming this on the fact that yeah, GETTR brags about being this free speech beacon. We don’t censor stuff. We don’t moderate stuff. You’re free to say whatever the heck you want, because dang it, this is America. Okay. Well, you’re also now the horn, home of the child pornographers. That’s what you have become GETTR. And I know you want people to be able to say what they want to say. You don’t want to heavily moderate. You don’t want to have to delete people or ban people because that’s why you left Twitter in the first place. But my God look at what you’ve become. Look at what you have welcomed onto your site. Now don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that GETTR is okay with these people. Absolutely not. I’m sure they’re just as appalled as everybody else is when they read these stories.

Oh my God. Why wasn’t anybody looking at this? And no, I don’t think they condone it whatsoever. But the problem is when there are no rules, when there are no regulations, when there are no community standards, this is the kind of thing that happens. We have also seen this, by the way, happen on some of the other, other little fledgling of Republican social media startups. This is not uncommon. People who want to share these disturbing images are going to try to do whatever they can to share them, to meet people like them and now they think that, hey, since nobody’s looking over the show, our shoulders over here at GETTR, maybe that’s the best place for us to go. GETTR, if you want to be taking, taken seriously, you’re probably going to need to start moderating some of this. You may need to get some algorithms in place to weed out the child pornography on your site, because I’m sure the last thing you want is to be known as the safe space for all the perverts.
