Ранее опубликованные материалы об американском друге России ANTONIO LUPHER’e и его порнобанде на «INTERPALS»:
ОСТОРОЖНО! InterPals = ФСБ. Актуально и 10 лет спустя
Американо-кремлёвский выблядок Антоша Луфер – пахан порнообменника «InterPals»
Американо-чекист Antonio Lupher и его банда сексуальных домогателей на «InterPals»
Дальнейшее расследование мерзостей американско-россиянского выблядка Антоши Луфера привело к следующим выводам (часть этих выводов уже была сделана ранее):
1) Администраторы и модераторы «InterPals» занимаются травлей пользователей по общественно-политическим причинам и на основании личной к ним неприязни. Они используют для травли как фальшивые профили, так и профиль администратора (администратор «InterPals» обвиняет неугодных пользователей в нарушениях, которые они не совершали). Заключительный элемент травли – удаление профилей неугодных пользователей по надуманным причинам.
2) Администраторы и модераторы «InterPals» занимаются сексуальными домогательствами к пользовательницам – в том числе к несовершеннолетним. Неотъемлемая часть сексуальных домогательств – рассылка порнографических фотографий (главным образом dick pics – фотографий половых членов).
3) Администраторы и модераторы «InterPals» потакают сексуальным домогательствам к пользовательницам (в том числе к несовершеннолетним) со стороны многочисленных сексуально озабоченных извращённых самцов-пенисоидов. Если пользовательницы жалуются администраторам на домогательства, то меры принимаются не против домогателей, а против их жертв – профили жертв домогательств удаляются.
4) Администраторы «InterPals» и их главарь Антоша Луфер (единственный владелец и «император» «InterPals») крадут личные данные пользователей. При «формальном» удалении профиля вся информация пользователя (все личные данные, вся переписка) сохраняются Луфером навечно для использования в тёмных целях. Теоретически, через 30 дней после удаления пользователем своего профиля вся его информация должна стираться с серверов «InterPals». Однако зарегистрировавшийся единожды на «InterPals» становится вечным «data slave» Антония Луфера и его банды извращенцев. Некоторым пользователям удавалось войти в профили, «удалённые» даже несколько лет назад как админами, так и ими самими (после таких входов пользователей сразу выбрасывало из этих якобы «удалённых» профилей).
Antonio Lupher – ограниченный убогий самец с низким уровнем интеллекта (даже несмотря на несколько высших образований), раздираемый комплексом неполноценности. Дружба таких особей с Россией – обычное и широко распространённое дело. Вот скриншоты его профилей на «X.com» и во «ВКонтакте», в которых он указывает своё местоположение как «Москва, Россия»:
%20x.com%20-%20Antonio%20Lupher%20-%20Moscow,%20Russia.jpg)
%20VKontakte%20-%20Antonio%20Lupher.jpg)
Убогий неполноценный козлоногий самец-пенисоид Antonio Lupher носит рэпперские козлино-обезьяньи полуштанишки-пидараски, что свидетельствует о его катастрофичной и неизлечимой козломозглости – козломоглость друга России Антоши Луфера объясняет все его действия, связанные с «InterPals»:

В заключение привожу находящуюся в открытом доступе в интернете информацию об Антоше Луфере и отзывы об извращённой клоаке «InterPals», «опубликованные на Reddit» (см. ниже).

Interpals or rather Interpalz! (a social network claiming to promote
friendship is Vatnik paradise)
SLAVAUA2022
May 17, 2023
Dear mods, please remove this if it's unsuitble for this sub. I might not know all the rules here, though my intentions are good. There's a sub about interpals on reddit but it's dead and impossible to post since it's unmoderated and one needs moderate-approval to post.
So here's the story. I've been part of interpalscommunity for a long time. In the beginning it was a site with a cool vibe and you could really meet people. I made some good friends because of it, also uite a few in Ukraine.
Interpals became less fun because of an influx of scammers and people with antisocial behaviour. Besides that also more shallowness in interactions but all those things were something I could deal with. When the war started I saw how the profiles of Ukrainians who spoke out against the war on there were banned or being picked of in a rapid pace. It doesn't mean that all who did got banned, it was rather that some minor infrictions were sought to get rid of some people pro Ukrainian. At the same time the site would do nothing against the most rude, threathing behaviour of Russian profiles towards Ukrainians. As I am not Ukrainian myself but actively spoke out against the war I knew I would become a target at one point.
First I got a warning because I apparently didn't follow their rules (naturally they didn't make it specific), and soon my account of about 12 years old was banned while I didn't have any troubles pre war. It was quite obvious some Russian users had mass reported me beccause of my desire of Ukraine winning the war in my profile.
Now I am not gonna whine about losing that account and you don't have to fight my battles for me. It's just that I started digging into the whole situation even more since I knew about 15 Ukrainians getting banned there for no reason while they all spoke out against the war. Reddit wouldn't be reddit if someone hadn't done it before me; I want to thank this user and here's his story https://www.reddit.com/r/interpals/comments/uvu7xh/interpalz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
Apparently since the war in Ukraine started there are many more active russian proflies on Interpals, while people siding with Ukraine appear to have their account suspended.
I made some researches and discovered that the owner of interpals Antonio Lupher, even if born in USA, currently lives in Russia and it worked for russian newspapers. http://antonio-lupher.blogspot.com/?m=1
Antonio went to Harvard University and received a world class education. He interned at Intern (Systems) at D.E. Shaw & Co., L.P and also he interned and free-lanced at The Moscow Times helping to write articles. Later he immigrated and relocated to Russia (the former USSR) and re-educated himself at Moskovskij Gosudarstvennyj Institut Meždunarodnyh Otnošenij (Universitet) and Sankt-Peterburgskij Gosudarstvennyj Universitet. The last time I communicated with him on good terms he told me he was still going to school and had a busy semester. So I suppose these days he’s still residing/hiding somewhere in Moscow.
I wonder now if, being Interpals already a shitshow for scamming bots, has become a haven for russian supporters and russian propaganda bots as well.
The site is also dodgy on other levels like the fact they don't comply with data-rules; https://www.reddit.com/r/interpals/comments/woxqfw/gdrp_compliance/
Off course they portray this all under an umbrella of a site that promotes international friendship and langauagelearning. But that's like reading Nestle is a company caring for the oppressed, Amnesty International adressing warcrimes or Heineken saying they disconnected from Russian activities. We all know better.
So why this long post? Because I am curious if other people have similar stories and what your experiences are in general. And secondly to blacklabel their fake persona of friendlyness.

GDRP compliance?

Aug. 15, 2022
So as far as I see Interpals is not even remotely GDRP complaint. How can they still operate in the EU?
For example personal data such as photos in private albums can simply be accessed from the outside by just having the url to the photo. Don't even need an interpals account.
You also can't request all the data they have on you. They even seem to keep all your photos (and maybe conversations) months after account deletion (possibly permanently).

Yep, I made a fake account, put photos in a private album. Posted a photo in a conversation. Then saved the URLs to the photos in the conversation and the private album and got my account intentionally banned/suspended. Now half a year later the URLs to the photos still work. Meaning they keep all media. Even in suspended accounts.

Also if you upload a photo and then delete it. It will remain on the server. Even though there is not a recovery function, and there is no reason for them to keep the photo.

Anyone ever figured out who actually runs this site besides the admin/owner of Interpals? 3 months ago a random account messaged me who knew my full mail adress and what adresses i used in the past to create my accounts. Maybe he just hacked my password but I feel like I actually got harassed by a mod.
So does anyone know who the mods are?

There have actually been lots and lots of reports on this subreddit about this type of stuff taking place on Interpals in the past couple of months.
I myself have experienced this pattern a lot too by this point - There will be some random new account i strike up a conversation with and then the user in question will mention/namedrop some hyper-specific topic i've mentioned in some previous conversation with another user right away, it's very very obvious and not an one-off thing.
Another time, i had some user insult and harrass me, i then went ahead and blocked/reported him – A minute later i get this same user harrassing me from a different account. That might or might not have been a mod, but these other sockpuppets referencing stuff i've written with other (genuine) users about all the time are definitely either in cahoots with the site's staff or staffers themselves.
The mods on Interpals seem to get a kick out of this type of stuff, from the looks of it.
They are definitely up to all sort of shenanigans and love to gaslight the users they're targetting about it; They're not exactly subtle about it and don't seem to care to be.
As far as i know, the site is being operated out of russia or someone afiliated with russia, though i haven't done any deeper research on this as of yet.
Ukrainian accounts seem to be frequently targeted by the moderation as well from what i've read on here and from profile descriptions i've seen on the site itself, especially when they voice anti-Putin sentiment in their "About me" section openly.
So yeah, the operators of the site don't have much of a reputation to lose and face no real legal ramifications for what they're doing to their users either.
It is what it is, i'd say... The site is in a sorry state compared to, say, 10 years or so ago, but it's still better than a lot (most actually, if you ask me) of other sites out there. And that says a lot about the state of the modern internet, too. Just be conscious about what you share on Interpals, and with whom in particular.

Fake profile with my friends photos

Febr. 24, 2025
Hi, there’s a profile on Interpals, which is like one year old and is using my friend’s photos… we’ve reported this profile several times but it was never deleted. We are literally desperate and even thought of hiring a hacker to hack this profile as Interpals is one big scam where profiles are getting hacked/suspended every minute, so I thought it shouldn’t be such a big deal? Or do you know better options?

It's likely the mods themselves engaging in this kind of sockpuppetry on Interpals - I dug around in this subreddit's archives, there's a 9 year old thread here where someone claiming to be a moderator on Interpals blows the whistle on some of this stuff. Here's the link to it if you or anyone else wants to check it out.
The Interpals mod in said archived thread is very likely genuine, and in that thread he all but admits to the staff resorting to all sorts of unsavory, unethical/unprofessional and lowbrow methods when it comes to engaging with their userbase or users they've honed in on for one reason or another.
One female user also reported how she had one of her friends being hit on by a staffer directly, which is a believable account based on my own experiences with these people.
To wit, a while ago, their staff began somewhat honing in on me as well after a string of false reports (i explained the situation every time and told them to check the message logs for themselves, which is probably why they didn't delete my account since i was being objective and truthful), and they've been getting on my nerves pretty consistently ever since.
The other day for example, i had one of their sockpuppets write me yet another bizarre unsolicited message which was again referencing a hyper-specific topic i had talked about with another user just a day prior or so, and by the time i saw this particular sockpuppet's message it already said "Inactive User" again, so there was no way for me to effectively block it either. But it's very clear at this point who's behind it and where it's coming from (the mods themselves that is, of course).
... The staff frequently reactivates "deleted" accounts as well from what i've seen, and they then use these "zombie accounts" for their trolling and sockpuppetry/gaslighting-type purposes. A lot of the crypto scams being run on the site seem to come from the staffers themselves too, though a lot of it seems to be bot traffic from outside as well.

I reported a few profiles which were either scams or were messaging me weird stuffs. They werent banned yet my profile was suspended. Lol.
I have to say that I am constantly reporting one profile which was messaging me really ugly ans weird stuffs, the profile is still there, a few years later, yet they keep suspending my account for reporting it.
Do Interpals informs that I am keeping reporting them or they just doesn’t give a fuck, check nothing and just ban me?

I myself have experienced this pattern a lot too by this point - There will be some random new account i strike up a conversation with and then the user in question will mention/namedrop some hyper-specific topic i've mentioned in some previous conversation with another user right away, it's very very obvious and not an one-off thing.
Another time, i had some user insult and harrass me, i then went ahead and blocked/reported him – A minute later i get this same user harrassing me from a different account. That might or might not have been a mod, but these other sockpuppets referencing stuff i've written with other (genuine) users about all the time are definitely either in cahoots with the site's staff or staffers themselves.
The mods on Interpals seem to get a kick out of this type of stuff, from the looks of it.
They are definitely up to all sort of shenanigans and love to gaslight the users they're targetting about it; They're not exactly subtle about it and don't seem to care to be.
As far as i know, the site is being operated out of russia or someone afiliated with russia, though i haven't done any deeper research on this as of yet.
Ukrainian accounts seem to be frequently targeted by the moderation as well from what i've read on here and from profile descriptions i've seen on the site itself, especially when they voice anti-Putin sentiment in their "About me" section openly.
So yeah, the operators of the site don't have much of a reputation to lose and face no real legal ramifications for what they're doing to their users either.
It is what it is, i'd say... The site is in a sorry state compared to, say, 10 years or so ago, but it's still better than a lot (most actually, if you ask me) of other sites out there. And that says a lot about the state of the modern internet, too. Just be conscious about what you share on Interpals, and with whom in particular.

Fake profile with my friends photos

Hi, there’s a profile on Interpals, which is like one year old and is using my friend’s photos… we’ve reported this profile several times but it was never deleted. We are literally desperate and even thought of hiring a hacker to hack this profile as Interpals is one big scam where profiles are getting hacked/suspended every minute, so I thought it shouldn’t be such a big deal? Or do you know better options?

It's likely the mods themselves engaging in this kind of sockpuppetry on Interpals - I dug around in this subreddit's archives, there's a 9 year old thread here where someone claiming to be a moderator on Interpals blows the whistle on some of this stuff. Here's the link to it if you or anyone else wants to check it out.
The Interpals mod in said archived thread is very likely genuine, and in that thread he all but admits to the staff resorting to all sorts of unsavory, unethical/unprofessional and lowbrow methods when it comes to engaging with their userbase or users they've honed in on for one reason or another.
One female user also reported how she had one of her friends being hit on by a staffer directly, which is a believable account based on my own experiences with these people.
To wit, a while ago, their staff began somewhat honing in on me as well after a string of false reports (i explained the situation every time and told them to check the message logs for themselves, which is probably why they didn't delete my account since i was being objective and truthful), and they've been getting on my nerves pretty consistently ever since.
The other day for example, i had one of their sockpuppets write me yet another bizarre unsolicited message which was again referencing a hyper-specific topic i had talked about with another user just a day prior or so, and by the time i saw this particular sockpuppet's message it already said "Inactive User" again, so there was no way for me to effectively block it either. But it's very clear at this point who's behind it and where it's coming from (the mods themselves that is, of course).
... The staff frequently reactivates "deleted" accounts as well from what i've seen, and they then use these "zombie accounts" for their trolling and sockpuppetry/gaslighting-type purposes. A lot of the crypto scams being run on the site seem to come from the staffers themselves too, though a lot of it seems to be bot traffic from outside as well.

Suspended account for reporting profiles?

I reported a few profiles which were either scams or were messaging me weird stuffs. They werent banned yet my profile was suspended. Lol.
I have to say that I am constantly reporting one profile which was messaging me really ugly ans weird stuffs, the profile is still there, a few years later, yet they keep suspending my account for reporting it.
Do Interpals informs that I am keeping reporting them or they just doesn’t give a fuck, check nothing and just ban me?
