Washington Examiner: New GETTR CEO Looks Beyond Free Speech and Toward Building 'Everything App'

The alternative social media network GETTR is evolving to become more of an "everything app" with an emphasis on protecting free speech, according to its new CEO. 

GETTR…[CEO Ken] Huang intends to evolve the app into something larger that offers many functions, from financial transactions to private groups. 

"We definitely want to be the one true stop online and advocate for freedom of speech,” said Huang.

While Huang intended to follow [former CEO Jason] Miller's vision of allowing all legal free speech on GETTR, he's trying to also expand to a broader audience. This includes incentivizing users to come onto the platform for nonpolitical content since much of the platform's content creators are political. This consists of the "Chill Mode" feature, which GETTR describes as the ability for users to restrict whether they are presented with political content. 

"We are…a true marketplace of ideas and communication as well as commerce," Huang said. "And honestly, we are turning ourselves to be more technology-focused as well."
