It’s been over six months since President Joe Biden took the reigns from former President Donald Trump, but tensions remain high between the two voter bases.
Trump fans created a free-speech app called GETTR.
The app intends to compete with Twitter-based on less scrupulous censoring and content policing. Undoubtedly, censorship is a massive concern on the web these days as social media giants Facebook and Twitter consistently come under fire for objecting to content.
In the case of GETTR, those with disdain for the former President decided to expose GETTR’s free speech initiatives by uploading objectionable content. Well, “objectionable” depending on who you ask, I suppose.
The provocateurs uploaded furry porn content, namely Sonic The Hedgehog nudes.
These folks intend to infiltrate the GETTR experience with lots of porno. The clear intention being that it will ruin the app. The Internet, of course, is losing its collective shit over the infiltration. Because, yeah, anything divisive on the Internet gets both hugged and burned. That’s just the online world we live in these days, so no surprises.
I hate to be the one to inform y’all about this, but GETTR is currently full of Sonic the Hedgehog animated furry porn.

To be clear, former President Trump has yet to create a GETTR account, and it is unclear where he stands on the project. That said, Jason Miller, chief spokesman of Trump’s 2016 campaign and senior advisor to the former President during his 2020 race, is the app’s creator.
The app claims it is “fighting cancel culture, promoting common sense, defending free speech, and challenging social media monopolies.”
GETTR has issues beyond just that of Sonic The Hedgehog nudies; it was also hacked. The hack led to usernames and some associated personal info, such as birthdates, getting exposed.
So yeah, the GETTR launch isn’t going all that well. And yeah, America still hates each other. So not a whole lot new here.
