Summary
A New York Post article reports that journalist Laurie Segall’s investigation identified 36-year-old Toronto pharmacist David Do as the operator of “Mr. Deepfakes,” a website that allowed users to create and share nonconsensual AI-generated sexual videos using photographs. The report says the site at its height had over 17 million monthly users.
Segall and a cybersecurity team said they traced the operator through open-source digital clues and corroborating evidence; Do declined to comment. According to the article, the site shut down in 2025 after seven years online and billions of views, and multiple women came forward as alleged victims of the deepfakes.
