CANADIAN PHARMACIST EXPOSED AS KEY FIGURE BEHIND WORLD'S LARGEST EXPLICIT DEEPFAKE SITE

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Investigative journalists have identified Toronto-area pharmacist David Do as a central figure behind MrDeepFakes.com. The site permanently shut down following the revelations. It had 650,000 users and generated over 2 billion views since 2018. The site hosted tens of thousands of non-consensual AI-generated explicit videos of celebrities, influencers, and private citizens. While non-consensual deepfakes remain legal in Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney has pledged to criminalize it following the practice of countries like the UK and Australia.
