In the world of online harassment, you might expect the architects of “doxing empires” to be technical masterminds or creative innovators. But as we uncovered in the case of Joey Camp, sometimes the “empire” is built on nothing more than a lazy copy-and-paste job.
The Predator Files: Episode Breakdown
Here is how Joey Camp pivoted from a Twitter suspension to a standalone harassment site—and exactly where he stole his blueprint from.
The Pivot: December 2020
It started in December 2020. Joey Camp was officially suspended from Twitter. For most users, this is the end of the road. For Camp, it was merely a migration.
The very next day, he registered the domain yourdaddyjoey.com. Shortly after registration, he transferred the domain to Epic—a registrar that has become a notorious safe haven for deplatformed figures.
The “Original” Idea
Camp needed a foundation for his shiny new harassment site. He needed a legal shield, an “About” section, and a framework to protect himself from liability. Rather than consulting a lawyer or writing his own policy, Camp looked at Antifa.net (also known as Antifa Watch) and decided to just take theirs.
He lifted Antifa.net’s “About” page almost word-for-word. The only effort he put in was finding the text “Antifa Watch” and swapping it out for “Your Daddy Joey.”
The Copy-Paste Job
The plagiarism wasn’t subtle. Camp didn’t even bother to change the order of the paragraphs. He rebranded their text and presented their content as his own original legal framework.
What exactly did he copy?
• The Disclaimers: The standard “this is not an accusation” language.
• The Defense: The “innocent until proven guilty” clauses intended to mitigate legal blowback.
• The Legal Boilerplate: The specific references to Section 230 and the DMCA.
Camp’s “big original project” was, in reality, just Antifa Watch with a fresh coat of paint.
The Kicker: The Epic Connection
The story gets stranger when you look at the source material. It turns out that Antifa.net was also hosted at Epic, and its registration was fake.
This raises serious questions: Who actually set these sites up? How deep does the connection go between these harassment networks and their hosting providers? And just how shady did the operations get?
We will explore the web of fake registrations and the architects behind it in the next episode of The Predator Files.
