A new Netflix true crime series, by the makers of The Tinder Swindler, is set to get fans hooked as they follow the uncovering of IsAnyoneUp.com founder Hunter Moore.
The Most Hated Man on the Internet, follows how Moore, and his notorious website were brought to justice by his victims, including underage women and ex-girlfriends.
At the lead of the fight was Charlotte Laws, a mother who was willing to take Moore down – and succeeded, as she worked with Moore’s victims to take down their pictures and videos from the website, and shut it down entirely.
While IsAnyoneUp.com eventually was shut down, and Moore sold its domain name to anti-bullying group Bullyville.com, he is still regarded as the ‘most hated man on the internet’, also labelled as ‘the king of revenge porn.’
In fact, Moore’s reputation is so horrific that he even makes the Tinder Swindler Simon Leviev seem like a nice guy.
Moore earned his moniker The Most Hated Man on the Internet back in 2012, when a Rolling Stone 2012 article profiled him.
As shown in the documentary, which uses footage of Moore speaking about his victims, his site, and how he wants to make money from ‘f***ing people over’, Moore knew he had the power to violate people’s privacy, and to some extent, he almost thought he’d gotten away with it.
In his own words, he was a ‘professional life ruiner’.
Where is Hunter Moore now?
Just like Simon Leviev, Moore is now free. Having served two years prison time following his 2015 trial, after Charlotte Laws’ work with the FBI, Moore was freed under supervised release and ordered to pay a fine.
He had been federally charged for aggravated identity theft and hacking, having hacked into his victims’ social media accounts to access their photos and then publish them on his site.
After his release in May 2017, Moore self-published Is Anyone Up?! The Story of Revenge Porn, a year later.
Moore was actually going to be involved in the Netflix docuseries about him, but pulled out.
Producers revealed: ‘When we were developing it, he initially agreed to take part, but then decided not to.’
Producer Vikki Miller added: ‘When Hunter pulled out, I was initially disappointed but then I completely changed my mind and am so glad we ended up telling it through Charlotte Laws’ narrative.’
The Most Hated Man on the Internet is available to watch on Netflix.
