this makes my blood boil, the author is obviously technically savvy, but how damaging it can be for someone (even technically inclined) in this day and age.

it would be a real shame if an organised group of person would start posting programatically to these slander sites with material from https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/ and randomly generated names. Storing all these pictures will cost something afterall.




on a second thought, we could re-use the names and some of the texts on these slander sites with the newly generated posts (with the generated picture) to give website administrators a hard time figuring out which post is a real person and which one is a duplicate, bonus, google will index all these "john doe" and "jane doe", bluring the real person/victim in a ton of results with different pictures so anyone looking at the results will think the site is total garbage (which it is)
