A new investigative series is shifting the focus from anonymous algorithms to the individuals exploiting them. The Searching for Mr. Deepfakes documentary series, a 13-part documentary series released directly on TikTok and launched by Paris Hilton 11:11 Media in collaboration with journalist Laurie Segall, pulls the curtain back on one of the most notorious hubs for AI deepfake pornography.
The documentary highlights a jarring reality: the primary figure allegedly controlling the platform was not a shadowy international cybercriminal, but a suburban pharmacist who led a seemingly ordinary life.
