MAGA Social Media Has An ISIS Problem
“Gettr” has had all sorts of issues since its launch last month.
It’s time to add jihadi propaganda to the list.
The good news: An initial deluge of explicit porn is gone.
The bad news: It’s been replaced by ISIS propaganda.
Such are the travails of Gettr, the pro-Trump, anti-censorship Twitter clone
launched by the racist former Trump spokesperson Jason Miller last month.
ISIS supporters have put forth a concentrated effort in the past few months
to “seed and grow” communities of support.
The targeting of conservative and far-right platforms is a deliberate tactic:
Compared to Facebook, these platforms often have limited resources to
combat the problem, and by simply having a presence there, the Islamic State
can claim a media win by “owning” a conservative space.
They’ve since grown to at least 250 active accounts disseminating content
that includes calls for violence and beheading videos, a Politico tally found.
