Isn’t hate a really strong word for a Title? What would you do if you came across a photo of yourself nude online? What if I told you, it can happen to anyone? The likes of Tinder Swindler, The Social Dilemma and Dont F** with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer, gave us insights to the murky darkside of the web, where serial killers and conmen, prey on their unsuspecting victims.
The Most Hated Man on the Internet, according to a docuseries by Netflix is Hunter Moore “The professional life ruiner”, founder of the first ever revenge porn website, globally known as IsAnyoneUp in 2010. The site was dedicated to sharing explicit photos of people without consent, to the extent of linking the victims Facebook profiles to the photos. The website grew to be a hub for the nefarious side of the internet
This real life villain, had an internet cult following that would threaten anyone who would try to seek justice. This was during the era of slut shaming, victim blaming and the unregulated online sex industry, the early ‘10s almost seem like a distant past.
This docuseries features exclusive interviews with victims of his site. Charloette Laws, a mother of one of the victims went on a manhunt to bring down the self-proclaimed ‘King of Revenge Porn,’ on behalf of her daughter and other victims by launching an online crusade. There truly is no wrath as a woman scorned. The docuseries, give in-depth insights to the lives of the victims.
The unanswered questions
In 2015, he was found guilty and sentenced to less than 2 years in prison for identity theft and hacking. He is currently a free man.
This self-proclaimed ‘King of Revenge Porn’ declined to appearing in the documentary and later gave his views on the docuseries.
This vein of the internet was always there, he just tapped into it. Which then leaves questions, how many Hunter Moores are out there? Why were so many people willing to support and defend this online toxicity?
