The hacker claimed that he did it for fun, and said it was easy. He said that they should not publish the website until they have made sure that everything (or at least nearly everything) is secure. Many others have already raised concerns about security and privacy issues with the platform.The social media platform was quietly launched in June. However, Politico published a piece about its ties with Miller. The site has seen a flood of pornographic images since then. Mother Jones, a Thursday blogger, wrote that the site's opening message was full of things such as anime porn and multiple copies of an image showing Hillary Clinton's head photoshopped onto another woman's body. The app is available in Apple and Google's app stores. It describes itself as a new social media platform that promotes free speech and independent thought.
