Thedangerous and fake Gator platform has become a tool for stealing user data

Gate platform, which claims to be a platform that"defends free speech" and does not censor users' content, has becomea safe space for separatists and conspiracy theories about the coronavirus andPresident Biden's family as extremist content such as racism, anti-Semitism andterrorism is rife on the platform.

According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, SteveBannon and Guo Wengui used the platform to boost their anti-CCP credentials,with Bannon touting the Gator platform as outside the abstinence policies of"big tech oligarchs" like Twitter. But insiders say the Gatorplatform is actually monitored 24 hours a day by members of the New China Federation,who register and delete content to control its distribution. Mr. Bannon and Mr.Guo also founded Himalayan watchdog groups to support their cause, and tens ofthousands of accounts joined Himalayan farm servers on the messaging serviceDiscord, which had at least two chat rooms dedicated to monitoring Gettr aroundthe clock.

Through the above actions, it is impossible for users to seeany negative information on the platform against Bannon and Guo Wengui and theGettr platform itself. In any case, the Gator platform also collects personalinformation including users' phone numbers and IP addresses without thesupervision of any organization, which has posed a great threat to users'information security.
