At some point, the Maria account also posted the exact same videos as the Maria Dopari account but with a different face. It appears that for three videos posted between March 6 and 8, the Maria account accidentally used a face from one of its other fake personas, called Lana, which posts under several usernames under some variation of lana.down, the biggest of which has of 43,800 followers. The Maria account then continued posting with the face it used regularly. In some cases 404 Media was able to identify the original videos that were being stolen by these accounts.

Difficult to know what even to say about this. It might be legal? But it is a deep violation of the social contract.

It's promoting the fetishization of already deeply marginalized and possibly easily exploited people due to their genetics.

This is going to create a subclass of gooners who want to groom and exploit the mentally handicapped in real life which is definitely illegal.
