I'm not exactly on holiday, as I am at home - it's just that my mom has been in the hospital so I've been dealing with that and haven't been online here as much as usual. But please send this to me and Mika's team will take care of it ASAP! Oh, I'm sorry for your mother, I hope everything goes well now... Thanks @dcdeb for your reply. In fact, weeks ago I also received other messages and friendship requests from accounts that use Mika's name, or that declare themselves to be his official fanpages and ask to write to him or send hearts, so he can reply to you privately. I have always publishing everything here, but I didn't want to bother you with private mail during a break period, so I would send you everything in the next days. Lately, unfortunately, I'm receiving a lot of them! I will send you all the screenshot and messages received, so you can evaluate for yourself, and report these impostors! Thank you for your kindness and your availability. Edited August 16 by Arianne921 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenBigFat Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Wow. It really feels like something organized is going on. There are companies of former spammers who can reverse engineer this crap and track it down. (Occasionally law enforcement here pursues these groups too. But often they are in distant continents) They cost a serious penny but people do get busted. I hope Mika’s people go after this and stay on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are either bot generated or boiler room hostages (I mean that literally; those awful spammers who so relentlessly call people are often essentially enslaved victims in poor countries) and when one is stopped another is born. This feet s organized and large scale (vs disorganized and independent, individualized). It features multiple identical attacks and in my view needs to be stopped at the root. Or by the leadership of X, insta, etc, and THAT ain’t gonna happen! Yes, of course, we must continue to report, but in my view the best hope is to get a larger legal or investigative power to step in.

Lately, I'm also in difficulty on my Instagram account, because I'm receiving a lot of like, or I have a lot of followers, from probably porno account. I'm blocking practically everyday people like these, and report all this to Instagram, but I continue to receive them! And all this, in this period, is happening to my friends too! I no more what to do! I wish someone at the top takes actions! I spend my day blocking and reporting people and I don't know why! I'm a private citizen that does nothing wrong and doesn't surf on strange sites! I continue to hope that something can change! Maybe i'll become old waiting this but I hope and ...

Thank you for your solidariety! It's true! And...yes, I report Mika's fake accounts, are annoying...patience, but other different sites......Nooo Some things are very shameful! I hope to solve soon this problem. It makes me angry! And I'm little worried too, because these sites are all illegal! I don't want problems! Now I also changed the settings of my account. I'll see what happen! And now I stop me, because otherwise I'm going . Anyway, thank you @QueenBigFat. Edited August 17 by Arianne921 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Associated Press: “San Francisco files first-of-its-kind lawsuit to tackle AI deepfake nudes “The proliferation of these images has exploited a shocking number of women and girls across the globe,” said David Chiu, the elected city attorney of San Francisco who brought the case against a group of widely visited websites. By ASSOCIATED PRESS 08/17/2024 11:15 AM EDT Nearly a year after AI-generated nude images of high school girls upended a community in southern Spain, a juvenile court this summer sentenced 15 of their classmates to a year of probation. But the artificial intelligence tool used to create the harmful deepfakes is still easily accessible on the internet, promising to “undress any photo” uploaded to the website within seconds. …. The proliferation of these images has exploited a shocking number of women and girls across the globe,” said David Chiu, the elected city attorney of San Francisco who brought the case against a group of widely visited websites tied to entities in California, New Mexico, Estonia, Serbia, the United Kingdom and elsewhere. “These images are used to bully, humiliate and threaten women and girls,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press. “And the impact on the victims has been devastating on their reputation, mental health, loss of autonomy, and in some instances, causing some to become suicidal.’” …. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arianne921 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) Hello, it's not properly a fake account but yesterday I have received this: This person introduce herself as Mika's assistant and she asked me to send a heart if I wanted to be real Mika's fan! First she has sent me this message, then she became my follower. Naturally I didn't reply to her. What seemed strange to me is not the fact that she became my follower but, rather, that a normal follower would send me a message like this. Another strange thing is that this woman, in her profile, has some photos with Mika probably at Fnac or with some members of MFC, like Mikagigs. Does anyone know this woman? What do you think about it? Edited August 28 by Arianne921 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure this person doesn't exist. It's a fake. They create accounts as Mika assistants, Mika team or just a fan posting a link to Mika's private account. I don't even bother myself to answer to such a message. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
