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.

Wtf.

    AI? Oh good. I’ve been seeing this “down syndrome baddie” content in thumbnail form and just sort of threw my arms up like “2025 things I guess?” There was that video going around last year about a woman with Down syndrome talking about how she wants to go out and drink and be a club rat that everybody was applauding, so I figured this was the natural next step.
