Titled after a 2012 Rolling Stone article that profiled the notorious internet troll Hunter Moore, Netflix’s three-part miniseries “The Most Hated Man on the Internet” is, surprisingly, not a hyperbolic statement. Recounting the rise and fall of Moore’s infamous IsAnyoneUp.com — a user-submitted revenge porn website that linked to social media accounts, doxxing people in the process — the closest corollary is, perhaps, Netflix’s own 2019 doc series “Don’t F**k with Cats.” Like that series (shares producers here), ‘Most Hated Man’ narrows in on how online culture spills out into the real world, often with malicious intent.

Netflix is no stranger to true-crime docuseries, and the streaming giant is back on the scene with a handful of new titles this summer, including "The Most Hated Man on the Internet." The series centers on the crimes of Hunter Moore, sometimes referred to as "The King of Revenge Porn," who created the website IsAnyoneUp.com. The site hosted thousands of pictures, many sexually suggestive or nude, taken by vengeful ex-partners and shared without the victim's consent.
For over a year, Moore profited from the pictures and created a small empire exploiting relationships that turned sour, but his invasive, money-making scheme didn't last forever. So here is where Moore is in 2022.
Who Is Hunter Moore?
Moore was born in 1986 and started building businesses at a young age after getting kicked out of his private Christian school for getting into fights, according to a 2012 interview with Rolling Stone.

Netflix’s The Most Hated Man on the Internet closes by explaining why its title character only ever appears in archival footage. “Hunter Moore initially agreed to take part in this series but later declined our invitation,” the screen reads. “We decided to use his image anyway.”
The irony is thick — considering Moore once catapulted himself to fame by capitalizing on images of unwilling people — and easy to smirk at. Maybe a bit too easy. The docuseries’ three hourlong episodes go by quickly, thanks to its streamlined storytelling and brisk pacing, and it delivers on both the white-hot outrage and the grim satisfaction promised by the downfall of a dude who really had it coming. But The Most Hated Man on the Internet falls short of the ambition needed to lend it real, lasting heft.

The Los Angeles city attorney's office has made its first conviction under California's new "revenge porn" law. Noe Iniguez, 36, was found guilty of violating the new statute, which prevents an individual from "posting nude photographs online for the purpose of causing emotional harm," the city attorney's spokesman, Frank Mateljan, told the Los Angeles Times. Iniguez posted nude photographs of his ex-girlfriend on her employer's Facebook page, referred to her as a "drunk" and a "slut" and encouraged her employer to fire her. He has been sentenced to a year in jail, followed by 36 months' probation and domestic violence counseling. He's...

The Grammy Awards took place last night, and performer Trent Reznor sent a very literal "f*ck you" to the award show after they cut his performance short at the end of the night.

Source: Getty/ Joe Raedle The big question of the day: is Justin Bieber going to get help following his arrest on Thursday? Apparently his people are trying to get him to go to rehab or start psychotherapy treatment. However, he is reportedly refusing to go to rehab. Meanwhile, Lil Za, Justin's friend who was arrested last week at Justin's home for felony drug possession, posted a "Free Bieber" message on his Instagram. "It's not a game," he wrote. And, finally, someone has made a Gif of Justin Bieber morphing into Miley Cyrus. They do kinda look alike. Let's not forget that she played Justin when she hosted Saturday Night Live! Source: Getty In non-Justin news, apparently Prince Charles and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, were delivered by the same doctor. What are the odds? Meet Colin Jost, the head writer at SNL who will be replacing Seth Meyers on Weekend Update.

"Storage Wars" star Brandi Passante, personal and business partner of Jarrod Schulz (pictured together above), has "won" her lawsuit against a website operator who allegedly distributed a pornographic video of her that she insists is fake, reports The Wrap.
But in her win, Passante was awarded a paltry $750 from District Court Judge James V. Selna.
Passante sued Hunter Moore, the former operator of site Anyone Up, for distributing a video falsely claiming to feature her. She also alleged that Moore published fake pornographic pictures of her online.
The A&E star was seeking $2.5 million in damages, but, according to the judge, provided "absolutely no support for this calculation of damages."
He cited the lack of evidentiary support as the reason to award her only $750, plus attorneys' fees and an injunction against Moore to remove any remaining and undisclosed content of video from all websites and restraining him from further disseminating the content of the video.

"Storage Wars" star Brandi Passante has won a legal victory over the man accused of distributing a fake pornographic video of her on the Internet.

Selna of U.S. District Court in Central California found Hunter Moore, former operator of the website Is Anyone Up, in contempt of court on Tuesday. Selna ruled Moore failed to comply with a preliminary injunction ordering him to remove the images of Passante from the websites that he posted them to. Also read:...

Hunter Moore, the former owner of a 'revenge porn' website that posted sexual images of men and women online without their permission, has been threatened by hacktivist group Anonymous. Moore sold IsAnyoneUp.com to anti-bullying charity BullyVille in April this year, after it was criticised for encouraging users to send in compromising photos of their former partners. As the site included the victim's full name and links to their social networking profiles, it was accused of fuelling online bullying as subjects were often ridiculed and even had to shut down their online profiles. Moore has said that he will soon launch a new website, and a technology blog reported that he would this time post the home addresses of victims. He later said that he was "misquoted", but hacking collective Anonymous has warned that Moore must be held "accountable for his actions". (more)...

Brandi Passante wants the world to know that she won't get naked and give anybody a virus. And she's willing to go to court to prove it.

And, perhaps worse, the suit alleges, the video placed a virus on viewers' computers. Also read: Erin Andrews' Peephole...

Brandi Passante, a star on A&E's Storage Wars, has launched a legal attack against Hunter Moore, a controversial porn peddler who has been featured on Anderson Cooper's talk show, Fox News and throughout the media. Moore is best known for IsAnyoneUp.com, a website that Gawker once said was capitalizing on a new genre of erotica called "stalker porn," featuring nude cell phone pics often submitted by a subject's ex-boyfriend, alongside screenshots of the subject's Facebook profile. Last year, the website prompted Facebook to send Moore a cease-and-desist letter, and in April, his website was shut
