The Most Hated Man on the Internet

First of all, kudos to Charlotte Laws, James McGibney, the supportive FBI officer, and "Anonymous" for taking down the vicious internet criminal Hunter Moore and his horrific exploits. The incidents from 2011-12 are recalled with their fair share of chilling cyber terror, and the makers thoroughly stand behind the victims. While few of the perspectives are skewed (such as the pornstar who repeatedly kept pandering to Moore's demands and the ex-girlfriend who couldn't see through Moore's nasty personality) to add greyness, the right folks get all the screen-time.

There are some thrilling, goosebump-inducing moments such as when Moore's website suddenly redirects to an anti-bullying campaign instead, when he gets confronted by Laws in a live TV show, and when you learn the the pro-active methodology by which a bunch of white-hat hackers take Moore down. While laws still need to be rewritten to protect people's internet privacies, the makers are subtly asking us not to be easy pickings for such dubious individuals to take undue advantage. To summarize, even a vile, powerful internet bully can't tie the shoes of a parent who sought justice for her young daughter.

P. S: That endnote (on Moore's involvement in the documentary) was fabulous!

My friends told me this this was coming up. As someone who's nudes were also stolen (hacked), put on that website, and harassed through social media for months, the documentary did a very good job in recreating and showing the nightmare that many of us had to live through when he was up and going. People forget that back then, camera phones had limited memory. People also forget that early iPhones could only send media through email. There was no cloud and people stored photos in email.

IAU was all fun and games until you were on it. Your phone number, address, and social media linked. You were constantly flooded with messages to kill yourself.

Most people aren't familiar with how big this got.

Although I won't watch this again, I'd recommend this to watch so everyone can become familiar with one of the darkest times of the internet.

This series shows you how one woman made a difference in not only stopping Hunter Moore but shutting down his website. Very well put together and worth your time in watching it. People like Hunter Moore are a low life piece of crap and need to be stopped. Protect your cell phones by getting hacked by adding more protection and be careful of what apps and websites you go to on them.

This Hunter "person" is quite disgusting. What an a$$hole he is! Nasty little troll. Since this time in the Internet world...I do hope some have woken up. NOTHING is private or safe on any device. I used to think the only safe computer is one that's unplugged. Now I believe the only safe computer is one that smashed to bits! If you want something wether a moment or life that's intimate and private to stay that way, then do it in the privacy of your own home. No phones, cameras or security systems on because if it's digital in any way it's somewhere FORVER! I mean let's get real, the cloud is just another computer somewhere filing away you life. Period. And so funny to me that this genius of a man who had amassed so many followers, and claimed to make so much money off his filth, lived with his parents haha. #HunterMooreIsAJoke.

People like this guy make me believe existence of satan and the movies showing its presence among people. What an ugly loser with loser followers. How many morons live in this world is beyond me 🤦‍♀️ Yes, "The Family" my a.. Bunch of losers made a community.
