The fight against Hunter Moore and his revenge porn site
To be called the Most Hated Man on the Internet requires a certain degree of despicableness. Hunter Moore does not disappoint.
The Netflix documentary (named after a Rolling Stone article) traces the many contemptible acts Moore committed, first by creating a revenge porn site, then by hacking into email accounts and phones to populate that site with nude photos.
The story begins with one victim, who realized that a topless photo she had taken had been posted on Moore’s site without her consent. The cases multiply from there, with more and more victims describing their horror at finding out nude photos of them had been posted on the site without their permission, along with their full name and social media pics. Even after many requests to remove these photos, Moore was undeterred. He blamed the victims for taking the photos in the first place, so they remained. His brazen attitude and personality attracted many followers, who left bullying and hateful comments on the women’s—and men’s, in some cases—pages.
But one victim’s mother had had enough, and she went after Moore. After a reporter exposed him, white hat hackers and the FBI also took up the cause. Will Moore get his deserved comeuppance? If you can make it through this shocking story to the last episode, you’ll find out.
