The Pharmacist Who Built a Deepfake Empire With 2.2 Billion Views. Searching for Mr. Deepfakes: Laurie Segall teams up with Paris Hilton to Expose the Man Behind the Site

He wasn't a hacker in a basement. He was a parent, a community member, a pharmacist. For three years, journalist Laurie Segall tracked down the anonymous operator of MrDeepFakes — a site that hosted 70,000 non-consensual deepfake videos and drew 17 million monthly visitors at its peak. This week on Haley on the Go, Segall walks us through the investigation that became "Searching for Mr. Deepfakes," a 14 part series produced in partnership with Paris Hilton, who's had over 100,000 explicit deepfakes made of her. We talk about who's really responsible — the platforms, the payment companies, the laws that haven't caught up — and what we need to do next.Come for the guest, stay for the conversation, leave with something to talk about.Haley on the Go is the show where I take you inside the conversations everyone should be having.
