‘I’m Also on the Website’

New Year&rsquo;s Eve. Levittown, New York. Word travels swiftly as one young woman tells the next: &ldquo;You&rsquo;re on the website.&rdquo; Dozens of recent high-school graduates are finding out that their photos have been scraped from their social media accounts, manipulated and posted to a porn website.
&nbsp;
Who would have done this? And can the women get the images taken down? Told there isn&rsquo;t much the police or anyone else can do, they set out to catch whoever did this.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Along the way, they get some help from a global band of investigators and hackers who could take risks that police and prosecutors sometimes couldn't.
&nbsp;
Levittown is a real-life horror story for the AI generation. In this six-part series from Bloomberg, Kaleidoscope and iHeart Podcasts, reporters Olivia Carville and Margi Murphy take listeners from quiet suburbs of New York to as far as New Zealand and into the darkest corners of the Internet.
