00:34 Scammers have been using my photo and dodgy quotes from me
00:40 to scam people for years.
00:43 They appear on Facebook.
00:44 They appear on LinkedIn.
00:46 They appear on that taboo feed on big mainstream websites.
00:52 And I can do nothing about it.
00:54 I had a bloke on the weekend contact me
00:56 through Facebook abusing me because he'd
00:58 lost $30,000 on a scam that used my picture
01:03 and dodgy comments from me.

01:09 The thing that gets me is that Facebook and Instagram
01:27 and all these people have this content matching AI technology.
01:30 You post something up with some copyright, like a song
01:33 that you don't have permission for,
01:35 and they'll get rid of that.
01:36 The record companies are all over that.
01:38 This stuff has been reported thousands of times.
01:41 I've literally had thousands of people sending me this stuff.
01:45 Surely they can, I don't know, get rid of it.
01:48 It's a crime where the victims are very powerless.
01:51 If the social media companies and people
01:53 sharing these images and stories don't take them down,
01:56 there's not much we can do.
01:57 We can be a bit careful about letting our image get out there,
02:00 but that's so hard now.
