From the Irony Files: Revenge porn boss wants Google to remove his “identity related” info

[Dr. Strange]

What do you do if you're a revenge porn site operator and the Federal Trade Commission has barred you from publishing nude images of people without their consent?

You demand that Google remove from its search engine links to news accounts about the FTC's action and other related stories, citing "unauthorized use of photos of me and other related information."

Craig Brittain—the former operator of revenge porn site IsAnybodyDown.com—is invoking the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in a bid to remove 23 links in all—an irony-filled DMCA takedown request that Google is ignoring. One of the links renders the FTC's press release in January about its enforcement against Brittain. Another is a link to Ars' story about the FTC's move: "Sleazy 'revenge porn' site is banished to settle federal charges."

So, the guy who got in trouble for posting nude photos of people without their consent is using DMCA to get Google to stop linking to sites that expose his buttholery because those sites are using photos of him without his permission!

2. Sorry, sweetums, but google never forgets:

That's Craig on the left. It doesn't look he cared about being interviewed and having his picture taken then. He reminds of someone else, too.

Revenge porn is “just entertainment,” says owner of IsAnybodyDown

The proprietor of one of the sleaziest "revenge porn" websites has gone public in a big way. The 28-year-old Colorado Springs man who created the site IsAnybodyDown, Craig Brittain, has been featured in a report airing on Denver TV station CBS4. Reporter Brian Maass also interviewed two women who were featured on the site against their will, and the station says it has been in contact with a half-dozen Colorado women in the same situation.

IsAnybodyDown posts revealing pictures, mostly of women, without their consent, along with their full names and identifying information like phone numbers and Facebook snapshots. If they want to get off the site, victims are directed to a takedown "service" that costs $250. The site is an even sleazier, and possibly more extortionate, version of Hunter Moore's famous site "IsAnybodyUp." (Moore's site has since gone dark, but he's hardly worse for the wear; he's even working on creating his own TV show.)

In the interview, Brittain said his site should just be considered "entertainment" and not extortion. He was also straightforward about his desire to turn the controversial business of "involuntary porn" into a big moneymaker. As for the Facebook information he solicits and posts, Brittain said he just wants readers to get a more holistic view of "who the women are and what they are about," according to the CBS report.

“We don’t want anyone shamed or hurt. We just want the pictures there for entertainment purposes and business," said Brittain, who said he makes $3,000 per month off the site. "I would say our business goal is to become big and profitable... We’re not out for revenge or being malicious. We just want entertainment, we want the money, we’re after making the buck..."

This sooo reminds of:

Mr. George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina

See, Mr. George Tierney, Jr. of Greenville South Carolina had some very, very bad things to say about about Sandra Fluke. But rather than saying them on U.N.C.L.E. Channel "D", he said them to her on this thing called the "Twitter" that all the kids are into these days.

And then the Bad Thing happened.

Tbogg picks up the story here (and, I trust, in the spirit of Christian brotherhood, he will refrain from hiring a lawyer to a] take all my munnies away from me, and b] force me to remove from Teh Google all the stuff I am about to copy from his public statements. So, y'know, don't tort me, bro!):

Misunderstanding how the Twitter works, George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina seemed to think he was using his “inside voice” when speaking (twatting) to Ms. Fluke on Twitter only to find out, in a very round-about way, that she elected to retweet to her 36,000 followers what George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina had to say to her and she only did this because she is obviously racist against douchebags who like to shout stuff at ladies on the internet because, as we like to say: virtual manhood is better than no manhood at all.

Anyway, that is where I came in when I screen-capped the whole exchange and made a post out of it, which brings us to last week when George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina decided to google himself on the internet and OH HOLY SHIT! he is now kind of semi-famous for Doing Internet Swears At Ladies and now that all that money he spent on eHarmony is just fucking wasted because ladies will not want to go on a date with him ever ever...
