Social media platform GETTR announced Monday that its users can now cross-post content from GETTR to Twitter.
The platform, which says it provides a place for free speech, said the new technology allows users to export GETTR posts to Twitter without having to switch platforms.
“GETTR continues to innovate and challenge the Big Tech dinosaurs, bringing new and amazing features to our global free speech community — and we’re just getting started,” GETTR CEO Jason Miller told the Washington Examiner.
GETTR will also be rolling out additional features including short videos designed to be an alternative to TikTok and Instagram Reels, encrypted direct messaging capabilities, and GETTR Pay, a cryptocurrency-based payment system.
Miller recently blasted President Joe Biden for not speaking against censorship across social media during his State of the Union address.
The GETTR CEO said he noticed many a “missed opportunity” for the president to mention free speech, censorship, and Section 230, the law that eliminates civil and state liability for digital hosts when it comes to third-party posts, but he applauded Biden for inviting Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen to the State of the Union address, calling the move “smart and telling.”
“The fact that a Democratic President of the United States is now willing to stand there at the State of the Union and call out Big Tech… I think it shows that Facebook and now Meta are now really in the crosshairs.”#GETTR CEO @JasonMillerinDC discusses Biden’s SOTU address. pic.twitter.com/fVaceg0Wqx

Miller has been outspoken against the social media bans placed on former President Donald Trump.
“I still believe in the power of social media to be that tool to bring freedom and democracy to places where we don’t have it and to make sure we preserve those liberties at home,” Miller said.

GETTR began in July 2021 and currently hosts 5 million users Miller likes to call “patriots.” The platform boasts that its first million users joined in less than three days, a move it says took Twitter 24 months and Facebook 10 months to attain.
