GETTR Statement on Twitter's Blocking of Tweet Importation
GETTR CEO Jason Miller today issued the following statement regarding Twitter’s blocking the ability of users to import their own existing Tweets from Twitter to GETTR:
“Twitter has blocked users from importing their existing tweets to GETTR, the new free speech platform challenging the social media oligarchs, preventing people from accessing their own hard work, creativity, and original content. Twitter seems to be trying to have it both ways - simultaneously claiming that Twitter users own their tweets, so that Twitter can claim immunity from liability for its content moderation activities under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, but now asserting ownership of its users’ content by blocking its users’ ability to obtain a copy of their content. Twitter must decide: does it own everyone’s tweets and is therefore a publisher responsible for the content, or do the users own their original posts? GETTR relishes the chance to fight for free speech rights.”
