‘The most hated man on the internet’ a new title of a Netflix documentary about the self proclaimed “King of Revenge Porn” Hunter Moore, after launching the IsAnyoneUp website featuring many non-consensual nude images.
Netflix’s new show premiered on July 27, 2022.
What happened to Hunter Moore’s website, IsAnyoneUp?
Hunter Moore’s terrible website, IsAnyoneUp, was the first and largest ‘revenge porn’ a term he used, the site displayed images and personal information submitted by the subjects, their exes or as we find out in the show many images were through hacking.
“It all started with me hating some dumb b**** who broke my heart,” Moore says in an audio clip featured in the Netflix docu-series.
“Me and my friends would just post a bunch of girls on IsAnyoneUp, and we just got a bunch of traffic one day. And I was like, ‘Yo, I can make money off of t*****s and f***ing people over.’”
The website started in 2010 and was around for two years until it was eventually taken down.

It became a highly-successful non-consensual pornographic platform that garnered some protection by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, according to USA Today where it states “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider”
This was set to change when photos of Charlotte Laws‘ daughter appeared on the website, and an investigation began.
As we learn in the documentary she received many death and rape threats by Moore fans ‘the family’, Laws persisted and got the images of her daughter, Kayla, removed from the site – but she knew she couldnt just abandon all the others she knew she had to fight for everyone.
“There’s no way I’m just going to abandon all of these women that I said I was gonna help,” Laws says in the docuseries.
“Hunter was continuing to destroy lives. I had to fight to take down his website completely, to get him off the internet.”
With the help of her English born lawyer husband, Charles Parselle, and Former Marine James McGibney (owner of a selection of websites about bullying and cheating), Laws got what she set out to do and had the site redirected.
In April 2012, McGibney offered Moore around $12,000 to acquire IsAnyoneUp in order to take it offline for good.
He then redirected the site to his anti-bullying resource BullyVille.com with the condition that Moore write a letter of apology to his victims.
