A new 14-part TikTok series hosted by Paris Hilton is claiming to offer bombshell revelations about the man behind one of the world's largest deepfake porn sites. The series, titled Mr. Deepfakes, alleges that David Do, a 36-year-old pharmacist from Markham, Ontario, was the mastermind behind the notorious website.
The Double Life of David Do
By day, David Do was a loving family man, a dedicated pharmacist, and a pillar of the community. However, according to the documentary series, in the twilight hours, he was allegedly operating Mr. Deepfakes, a site that hosted nearly 70,000 explicit deepfake videos viewed more than two billion times by 650,000 users. The clips included nonconsensual pornography featuring celebrities such as Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson, as well as ordinary women whose images were scraped from the internet.
No Laws Against Deepfakes in Canada
Currently, there are no laws against creating deepfakes in Canada. Do is under investigation by his employer, Oak Valley Health, and the Ontario College of Pharmacists, but his license remains in good standing. Many victims feel helpless, as Hilton expressed to the New York Post: “There were no laws to protect me. If I can make it so other girls don’t have to go through what I went through, that’s so meaningful to me.” She described the experience as “being digitally raped and having the whole world watching it, and laughing.”
Confronting the Alleged Creator
Veteran tech journalist Laurie Segall, who collaborated with Hilton on the series, confronted Do outside a hospital. He refused to answer her questions, and Segall noted: “Offline, you couldn’t get a bad word about him. I was shaken because it wasn’t that he wasn’t afraid. It was more like ‘how dare you show up here.’” She added that the site could turn young boys into people who think it’s okay to digitally undress someone.
After Segall began her investigation, dozens of women emerged claiming they too were victims of deepfake abuse. Using ethical hackers, she zeroed in on Do. As pressure mounted, Mr. Deepfakes was shuttered in 2025 after seven years online. Hilton has since pushed for legislation, including the DEFIANCE Act, to protect victims of AI-generated harm.
Ongoing Investigations
Oak Valley Health released a statement in April stating that Do was on leave and under investigation. The Ontario College of Pharmacists is also investigating, but his license remains in good standing. Segall hopes for consequences for future creators, saying of Do: “Did he understand the harm? I wanted to ask him.” The pharmacist has refused to answer any questions.
