Hunter Moore: Endangering thousands.

Hunter Moore is a man that must be stopped before he costs innocent people their lives. He created a website called "ISANYONEUP?", which is a revenge porn site, created specifically for the purpose of exploiting and embarrassing people. Anyone could post photos of other people nude, without their permission. But that isn't all. The photos would be posted along with links to their social media sites. No one is off-limits, while Hunter Moore claims to screen the images for child pornography before posting, it is beyond dispute that pictures of miners have also been submitted and posted multiple times throughout the time the site was available.

The site includes categories, such as "gnargoyles," (reserved for people Moore deems particularly unattractive.) And "Band whores". which includes a list of all members of a band that someone allegedly slept with. Other classifications include: "would" and "would not".  When Moore comes across a Facebook profile he likes, a "bounty" goes out for nude photos of that person. Another feature is "Daily Hate," (outraged correspondence from people who have had their pictures posted without their consent.)

After pressure and threats, Hunter Moore took down "ISANYONEUP". He sold the site to Internet entrepreneur James McGibney, who turned the domain into Bullyville, an anti-bullying forum. It was supposed by some that Hunter had turned over a new leaf. WRONG. Hunter Moore made this clear when he stated the following, "I don’t give a fuck about that (helping victims of bullying). It was all money.” Yes, to Hunter, it is all about money.

Now he is starting a new site, which is, in many ways similar to the original, but with one exception. He claims he will also upload, along with the pictures, physical addresses and maps to their homes.

This means that on top of exploiting people, and enabling cyber-bullying, he is also giving every sick freak, across the U.S. all the information necessary to stalk, rape, and even murder these victims. “All these people that thought they were safe: nah, it’s all gonna be back,” he said. “We’re gonna introduce the mapping stuff so you can stalk people.” Moore stated. He later claimed that only people who have "wronged" him will have their addresses and maps posted, but in the past, people who have "wronged" him include people who openly speak out against the site, people who request to have their photos (which were uploaded without consent) removed, and people who have angered him in anyway. So, in essence, many, many people will have their addresses posted, even if he keeps to his word, (which he may naught) to only post the supposed "wrong" doers.

Details are scarce on Moore's new venture, but he claims that it will be the "Scariest On The Internet".

Law enforcement has their hands tied, due to a loop-hole in section 230 of the United States online decency act, which was created to protect websites from being held accountable for content posted by a third-party. Because of this loop-hole, Hunter Moore cannot be prosecuted.

He is willingly, and purposefully enabling stalkers, rapists, and murderers to pick and choose their prey in the comfort of their own homes, more easily than ever before. Think of it as amazon.com, except, instead of shopping for items, you're shopping around for potential victims. But why would he do this? Because it's paying off. He claims to have cleared up to $13,000 a month from the site, and his popularity is growing everyday.
