GOOGLE, YOUTUBE and FACEBOOK must remove Anthony Haffner from the internet now and take stronger action against the abuse, harassment, and impersonation happening across these platforms.
Our community is asking for real accountability because this behavior has gone too far. Anthony Haffner, a 21 year old autistic man from Cincinnati, Ohio, has been linked to repeated harassment on YouTube, including using Michael Taylor accounts to claim technical wins on game shows, making threats to shut down people’s channels, and trying to get users’ passwords in an attempt to hack accounts. He has also impersonated and targeted users on YouTube, including Dylan Jones, Kevin Chau, DinomiteTwinsIRL, and others. This kind of conduct creates fear, spreads confusion, and makes people feel unsafe in the spaces where they should be able to share videos and talk with others.
There are also serious concerns about abusive conduct involving Kenneth Rembert, including spreading misinformation on YouTube about transit cities between New York and making troubling comments about women. In addition, Anthony Haffner has shown disrespect toward the deaths of public figures and community members online, and has used social media to celebrate channel terminations and stir up more harm. Reports have also described late August 2025 death threat emails sent to MG Productions and harassment connected to a personal phone number.
On Facebook, he has disrupted discussion around Jeopardy and reacted in ways that show contempt for other users and their communities. We ask Google, YouTube, and Facebook to remove these accounts, stop the impersonation and harassment, and take meaningful action before more people are targeted.
