Is Anyone Up!?: The story behind revenge porn Kindle Edition
Moore, who had been coined "the most hated man on the internet" in a 2012 Rolling Stone article, set up the revenge porn website Is Anyone Up? in 2010 which allowed users to post sexual and explicit photos and videos of people online without their consent.
Alongside the explicit content, there would be links to the victim's social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter, and other identifiable images and details, including their city of residence. As revealed in Netflix's The Most Hated Man on the Internet, Moore even posted images of one of his victims, Destiny Benedict's children, which she had to fight to get taken down.
In almost all instances, Moore would refuse to take down pictures despite pleas from victims who had not given their consent. In many cases, the images were thought to have been accessed via hacking. At its peak, Is Anyone Up? had 350,000 unique users a day and up to $30,000 in advertising revenue, according to Esquire.
It would later be confirmed through the FBI's investigation that Moore had hired another man, Charles Evans, to hack email accounts and steal nude photos which would then be uploaded to the site, according to court documents.
Charlotte Laws, whose daughter was featured on the site without her consent, spoke with over 40 other victims around the world and compiled all of the evidence she had gathered over two years against Moore, handing it over to the FBI's Los Angeles Internet Crime Division in 2012.
