Jason is such an ass-kissing toady. Strange how hard-hitting journalist Maria didn't bring up Jason buying a hand job at a Miami massage parlor, or the $42K Jason had to pay Gizmodo after they reported he drugged a woman he got pregnant with an abortion pill.

Former Trump Spokesman Must Pay $42,000 in Legal Fees to G/O Media After Losing Defamation Suit
Jason Miller lost his original suit in 2019
Andi Ortiz | May 23, 2021 @ 3:36 PM

Jason Miller, a spokesperson for former President Donald Trump, has been ordered by a federal judge to pay Gizmodo Media Group almost $42,000 in legal expenses after two failed attempts to sue the company.

In his first legal attempt, Miller claimed a 2018 viral story from the now-defunct website Splinter titled, “Court Docs Allege Ex-Trump Staffer Drugged Woman He Got Pregnant With ‘Abortion Pill'” had cost him his contract as a political commentator for CNN. Miller attempted to secure $100 million from G/O media in the original suit, but a federal judge ruled that story had been accurately reported, making Miller’s claims moot.

hahahaha. Fired IT and cybersecurity teams, that's going to work out really well.

MAGA social media platform Gettr remains in decline after laying off at least 13 staffers this past December, including an entire IT department and two executives, according to reports.
MAGA Social-Media App Gettr Lays Off Entire IT Team Amid Financial Woes
‘HIGH SCHOOL OPERATION’
Zachary Petrizzo Media Reporter Updated Feb. 03, 2022 5:50PM ET / Published Feb. 03, 2022 5:05PM ET

The hits keep rolling in for the MAGA social media platform Gettr, as the site faces increased competition from the likes of Donald Trump’s yet-to-be-launched Truth Social and far-right platform Gab. The Washington Examiner reported Thursday how Gettr remains in decline after laying off at least 13 staffers this past December, including an entire IT department and two executives. “At least 13 members of GETTR’s online security and infrastructure teams, including the platform’s chief information officer and its chief information security officer, were let go on Dec. 28, 2021, less than three months after they were first hired,” the Examiner reported. Elsewhere, the publication quoted a former employee describing Gettr as a “high school operation.” Founded by former Trump adviser Jason Miller and funded by exiled Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui, the platform reportedly now also faces “funding problems.” In a statement to The Daily Beast, Gettr spokesperson Ebony Bowden pushed back on reports of struggles at the company, writing: “We’ve experienced 50 percent growth in 2022. We’re not going anywhere.”
These Trumpers still aren't getting that GETTR is owned by a Chinese investor, that's how screwed up they are. Even Washington Examiner is writing about it.
GETTR fired IT and cybersecurity teams amid financial problems, former employees say
by Nihal Krishan, Technology Reporter | | February 03, 2022 02:08 PM

Social media upstart GETTR fired over a dozen staff members late last year, including two key executives and its entire IT and cybersecurity teams, amid rapid growth and what former employees said were funding problems. The layoffs came even as interest in the company, founded by Jason Miller, a spokesman for former President Donald Trump, exploded. But three people who were canned say that behind the scenes, GETTR is struggling with more than just growing pains, warning that the recent round of layoffs may have jeopardized the platform’s security.

“In all honesty, in all my years of doing cybersecurity, I’ve never seen a company this poorly run from business operations all the way to IT,” a former top GETTR employee told the Washington Examiner. “It looks like a high school operation.”

At least 13 members of GETTR’s online security and infrastructure teams, including the platform’s chief information officer and its chief information security officer, were let go on Dec. 28, 2021, less than three months after they were first hired, the former executives said. The teams were not replaced, they said, leaving the company vulnerable to online threats. The employees said they were told that the company could no longer afford to employ them and was undergoing a major restructuring.

GETTR’s head of human resources at the time of the firings, Felicia Blasberg, also left the company at the end of December amid the shake-up. GETTR declined to comment on the layoffs, but Miller said the company he launched last summer as a free speech-oriented, anti-cancel culture alternative to Twitter remains healthy. "As a company policy and out of respect for former and current employees, we do not comment on personnel matters,” Miller said in a statement via email. “Our position remains strong, with over 4.5 million users, and this month we'll be releasing Vision, our short video format which will compete with TikTok and Instagram reels."

GETTR got a huge boost just days after the layoffs when podcasting giant Joe Rogan joined. Rogan helped bring in a million new users, shooting the platform’s mobile app into the top 10 most downloaded social media apps on the Apple App Store earlier this month. Before that, for a period last year, GETTR was the most downloaded app on the Android App Store and Google Play. Rogan subsequently criticized GETTR, though, saying it inflated his follower count. Several of the ousted employees pointed the finger not at Miller but at key investor Guo Wengui. A Chinese exile and vocal critic of the Chinese Communist Party, Guo and his hand-picked chief technology officer, Joe Wang, clashed frequently with the IT and cybersecurity teams over how to improve the platform while maintaining security protocols, multiple former employees said. “Jason Miller played no part in the decision, it was all Guo,” a former senior IT executive at GETTR told the Washington Examiner.

Our little Zach is doing great, but now he's getting death threats from the Lindell/Trumper crowd. Stay safe Zach!

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy than Jason Miller, handjob buyer, and hero who slipped a woman an abortion pill in a smoothie after impregnating her.
