The story
A rumor claiming that using the adult-video piracy site “MissAV” secretly films viewers’ faces and leaks them online became a hot topic on 5ch’s Nandemo Jikkyo G (live-discussion) board. Early on, though, several posters pointed out that “there’s no actual source” and “this is just a joke thread an aggregator site picked up, and now idiots are reacting to it” — and the consensus shifted toward the rumor being fake. Still, the thread also raised more grounded worries separate from whether the rumor itself was true, like the possibility of smartphone or PC camera permissions being abused, and the unsettling idea that AI image editing could fabricate a convincing fake leak.
What people said
It's just some aggregator site scraping a joke thread, and morons reacting to it.
Stuff like this makes me worry it'll give some hacker the idea of "alright, let's actually do it!"
Ha, like Gold Roger (echoing his famous "if you want it, you can have it" line from One Piece)
Figured there's a chance some female users are on there too.
Ugh, my embarrassing faces are just gonna keep getting recorded and sold off.
Oh, it happens.
Everything gets recorded.
The lecherous face while browsing.
The expression mid-stroke.
The empty look right after finishing.
All of it.
All of it, broadcast to the entire world.
If a ton of people are in the same boat, it's not scary.
why is a site like that still allowed to exist?
It's basically Mangamura.
Front cameras have garbage image quality anyway, so unless you've got some seriously distinctive feature, you can just deny it's you.
And honestly, if they edit it to make it look like you're sucking a dick and expose that, the damage is pretty real.
If you're factoring in generative-AI edits, MissAV doesn't even matter anymore.
You could do the same thing with a yearbook photo if you wanted to.
People are just making stuff up.
Background and key points of this discussion
MissAV is known as a piracy site that reposts videos without paying proper distribution fees, and posters in the thread even named it alongside Mangamura, the notorious pirated-manga site, as the same kind of operation. This time’s rumor — that it secretly films and spreads viewers’ faces — never had any technical basis or original source presented over the course of the thread, and it died down once people pointed out that “it was just a joke thread that got picked up and spread around.” The real disagreement wasn’t so much over whether the rumor was true, but over whether browser or app camera permissions could actually be abused, and how to regard the current reality that AI image editing can produce convincing fake images regardless of whether they’re really of that person. While the rumor itself was debunked, the risks around camera-permission management and AI-generated fake images remain real issues, separate from the baseless rumor itself.
