In the last day it turns out that
A) Gettr is financed by a Chinese billionaire closely linked to Steve Bannon’s fraud and misinformation campaigns
B) they left the Source maps enabled and the code reveals it to be an Orwellian nightmare of censorship and everything the GOP decries about Twitter (manipulation of views and shadow banning) and has its encryption keys in plaintext in the code
C) has a broken API that allows just about anything to crawl its private data without being authenticated
You really couldn’t make this stuff up. Some are even wondering if the fuck ups are intentional so the network completely fails and it can be another right wing talking point about how unfair the internet is towards people with a red R by their name.
That's not even 2nd tier development - that's "My First Website"-level ineptitude. I can't understand how you can be competent enough to implement something like shadowbans yet useless enough to be unable to lock down your API. |
