'The Most Hated Man on the Internet' on Netflix: Release date, cast, plot and all the latest buzz about docuseries
Netflix is back with yet another gripping documentary. 'The Most Hated Man on the Internet' is a docuseries about one woman’s crusade against the self-styled ‘King of Revenge Porn’ and is set to launch on Netflix. The series will tell the story of a woman who went against Hunter Moore, a self-proclaimed “professional life ruiner” after nude photos of her daughter were posted online.
In 2010, Hunter Moore created the revenge porn website "Is Anyone Up?" which allowed users to post sexual and explicit photos of people online without their consent, often accompanied by personal information such as their names and addresses. He refused to take down pictures on request. The website was up for 16 months, during which Moore stated several times he was protected by the same laws that protect Facebook. Moore also paid a hacker to break into email accounts of victims and steal private photos to post. The FBI started an investigation on Moore in 2012 after receiving evidence from the mother of one of the victims. The site was closed in April 2012 and sold to an anti-bullying group. In November 2015, Moore was sentenced to two years and six months in prison, paid a $2,000 fine, and $145.70 as "restitution". He was released from prison in May 2017. The Netflix docuseries will focus more on the victims who fought to stop him, most notably a mother who embarked upon a mission to bring down Moore’s revenge porn empire after he violated her daughter's privacy.
