The newborn platform was inundated by Sonic the Hedgehog-themed porn and had prominent users’ profiles defaced. Next, hackers posted its user database online.
Gettr, a social media platform set up by allies of former President Donald Trump, was still wet and squirming when it got hacked – twice.
The first slap on the rump for the politically conservative platform came in the form of Sonic the Hedgehog-themed porn that flooded it over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, as first reported by Mother Jones. Comments under the platform’s welcome message included pornographic images and GIFs, while users also spammed the platform’s first post with graphic hentai videos and images of Hillary Clinton’s face photoshopped onto a woman’s naked body, according to the outlet.
