They use Google tag manager in their signup page. Translation, Google will know your user name, tie it to your real identity, and will track everything you say.
They'll track everything you share, like, comment, etc. You're helping them build a profile on you. Unless you're completely insulated from all advertising, they will find ways to "nudge" you into making purchases and forming opinions.
Nudging is a slow process that happens on the subconscious level: https://www.convertize.com/what-is-nudge-marketing/
Nudge marketing refers to deliberately manipulating how choices are presented to consumers. Its goal is to influence what consumers choose, either to steer them toward options that the marketer believes are good for them or simply to stimulate purchases and increase sales
I already have a gmail, facebook, youtube, reddit accounts that could be tied to my real identity. They could get my identity from .win cites using my IP address, but NOW you want me to afraid of GETTR? This is bullshit.
That sounds like a much bigger problem that you have on your hands... but also a logical fallacy
"I eat fast food, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, watch CNN, and you're telling me the vaccine is poison? What should I care?"
No, dude that makes no sense. Even if you are obese, drink alcohol and smoke heavy you should still be afraid of a vaccine that could kill you, that's a rational fear.
Being afraid of GETTR, while I've already exposed myself to Twatter, Goolag, and CommieTube is an irrational fear.
It's like if Cuomo locked me in a nursing home with a bunch of Covid patients for a week, but after week they say hey here you can have this Mask and Face Shield, it's too late I've already been exposed.
While also realizing that a mask and a face shield DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to protect me anyway, is the same as realizing you can't protect your identity online by just refusing to make a GETTR account.
Nowhere did I say to fear anything. I said a gettr account is telegraphing your evert action to google. If you're okay with that then so be it.
The danger is because they pose as an "alternative" platform that's "free" -- unlike facebook twitter etc. where people expect to have zero privacy. It's like thinking you're inside your own home when really google's cameras are in every room.
Act accordingly.
GETTR is telegraphing my every action to google? Dude, just going online your ISP, your browser, your cookies is telegraphing everything you do to google. I don't understand what you don't see about this.
Refusing to make a GETTR account is NOT keeping your information anymore safe from google than anything else. IF you're using standard browsers, and a regular internet connection on a windows computer your ISP and google are tracking you anyway. How is using GETTR exposing you anymore than you already are expose???
Not true. Your ISP does not route all of your data packets through Google, that is just wrong and shows a fundamental misunderstanding on your part.
I don't understand the fundamentals, maybe so. So me using GETTR all my data packets are going through GOOGLE? I'm not an expert IT guy, but that makes NO sense.
Correct, routes are part of the service. I think OP is disappointed this means there is no mass platform still that is AWS, Alphabet, NWO free.
Think of it like this. You and your friend / brother got walkie talkies for Christmas so you could shoot the shit about your parents, girls, etc. But it turns out that the signal gets rerouted to your parents, so they can hear you saying everything.
Gettr is marketed as the alternative to big tech. But they're feeding big tech.
Stop misleading people.
Everything I said is true.
Also it's not too late to rid yourself of the other platforms. You know they're bad. Food is a perfect example, "why should I care if it's organic when I eat all this other trash" -- then stop eating the trash!
Q also told us NOT to retreat from the battlefield. IF you want to pretend that not using GETTR is somehow keeping your information safe from Google (Which it isn't), than you go right ahead and keep that false sense of security if it makes you feel better.
We are fighting the information war. Twitter, and Facebook are the enemy. Going on our own platform is the best way to flip them off, and show we are stronger than them. Parler failed, Gab Sucks, we need a platform that can rival Twitter.
Unfortunately for the platform to be good and successful we have to use some of the enemies resources. Maybe down the road that can change, but right now I believe this is the right course to take.
You are making straw man arguments and false statements. You absolutely do not need to use any of the enemy's resources. Look at rumble / odysee. RSBN is not "retreating from the battleground" - they are fighting on a better front and achieving great success.
The US didn't route their communications through Germany in WW2.
In much the same way as RINOs are even worse than Democrats because they are being deceptive, so is Gettr in presenting themselves as an alternative to the same big tech that they're feeding.
Correctly, we should have our own platform. AND offensively fight on their platforms.
I share your annoyance they didn't unhook from the evil tech masters, eventually the post office will take over a guaranteed secure platform.
"The US didn't route their communications through German in WW2"
But you accuse me of making straw man arguments? haha that's hilarious.
That's not a straw man argument, that's called an analogy
Probably a sign.
That's ironic they'd mark their own data collection front as spam
That's a vast oversimplification. Nobody "owns" the internet, it works on nodes and servers. Google does not have a monopoly on this.
There is still a way to be careful online using the right extensions and routing your traffic accordingly.
?
My browser reports G00gle blocked from Gettr.
Indeed. And they won't let you sign up without unblocking it.
I am not signing up for anything until Mr T endorses
I agree. I like to think I am insulated too, but I am also aware that they have 100+ years experience on, and improving of, subconscious marketing.
1 more peice of the puzzle. An additional purpose of the invasive phsych marketing, on top of all the obvious deep state benifits to having nsa style surveillance, is to construct a more confrontational relationship between consumer and producer. The government has already ruined the (current) "free" market system with layer after layer of socialism, now they have set up a situation where every business from mega Corp to small business is funding mass survailence, and they are not hiding it. waking up to this fact alone without the bigger picture further alienates normies from the idea of capitalism.
I must be a boomer. Never heard of gettr.
Just searched it and learned what it is. As an network engineer and an IT expert I'm disappointed Jason Miller would utilize ANY Google product for his social media platform. I completely purged myself from Google in 2018. Thanks for this information fren.
RSBN was shilling it relentlessly leading up to the rally
Why another social media platform? Twitter "was" great because everyone(sic) used it. The more it is splintered the harder it is to use them.
Twitter and facebook censoring so much, there's demand for a truly free speech alternative. I suppose Gab already exists. Gettr is pretending to be one but they're tied into google
Every marketer on the planet uses Google Analytics. Not that they should, but they do unfortunately.
Exactly. That's why the consumer would do best to insulate themselves from it.
Don't use Chrome, it shares everything with google. Use Brave which is based on Chrome, and turn everything OFF in privacy settings except for the Do Not Track option
Another good choice is Firefox. Completely different engine (gecko) than chrome and all the others (chromium). One of the last that is truly different, with good security.
Brave is no better but dumbshit op is still thinking he knows anything about privacy and the internet lol. Unless you've stayed completely off the grid with zero modern technology then you should know that they too 'have it all'
This
LOL at the fucking morons down-voting Firefox. Fucking ignorant sheeple. Do some research before blindly parroting things you yourself do not understand.
I thought the whole idea is simply to have a platform which the DS can't directly manipulate and/or take down, black-out, etc.; e.i., a DEPENDABLE platform.
AdGuard Family Plan. Save your family on their phones and computers too. It's cheap on sale for lifetime licenses. Not a single ad anywhere, ever.
"Let the government see all the guns I have! Let em know how well I'm armed!" --- I hope you see the problem with this machismo. There is a reason we don't want the govt to have a gun registry
You're too damn scared, bro. Either you believe patriots in control, or you don't. But still running like a little biotch from Google is lame as fuck. Don't retreat from the battlefield. Man up.
This is not a fairy tale, don't be a child. Even in war you can't be an idiot and just run towards the enemy acting like a tough badass. You'll be the first one in a grave.
A generation used to a life counter and a game reset or saved game option.
That's fine, the guns analogy doesn't apply to you specifically. But do you understand why patriots don't want to divulge that information to tyrants? Letting them know our exact munitions and ammunition, literally and figuratively, does not work in our favor.
We should not support any platform that poses like an "alternative" platform when it relies and shares everything with Big Tech. That's even worse than facebook or twitter, at least we know they're the enemy.
Stupid / ignorant / misinformed.. the way a lot of people are about internet privacy
