From "Mysterious Bespectacled Woman" to AI Deepfake Pornographic Rumors: A Full Timeline Investigation into the "CC the Phone Buyer" Fake Image and Video Incident

[Fact-Checking and Rumor-Debunking Statement]
Recently, so-called "high-definition image collections of CC the Phone Buyer (Mysterious Bespectacled Woman)," "leaked private videos," and "AI-generated doujinshi" have been circulating on social networks, Baidu Tieba, Telegram groups, and adult forums.
According to multiple fact-checks, all exposed pictures and indecent clips suspected of infringement circulating online have been forged and spliced together by the black industry and malicious netizens using open-source AI face-swapping tools (Deepfake) and generative image models. The victim formally reported the case to the Public Security Bureau and completed case acceptance registration on September 17, 2026. This site resolutely resists digital sexual violence and infringing black industries targeting ordinary women, and neither provides nor links to any forged image collections.

Over the past two months, the Chinese internet has staged an absurd and cruel cyber witch hunt.

The protagonist, "CC the Phone Buyer," was originally just an ordinary door-to-door recycling agent for the second-hand trading platform "Zhuanzhuan," as well as a digital creator on Bilibili with nearly one million followers. Because she constantly wore black-rimmed glasses and dark blue work clothes while shuttling through streets and alleys to inspect phones door-to-door, she possessed an extremely high degree of recognition.

However, starting in mid-August 2026, a cyberstorm targeting her rapidly evolved and deteriorated from "disputes over graphics card price suppression" in the digital circle into "AI deepfake pornographic images," "fake face-swapping videos," "vulgar comics," and "human flesh doxxing across the entire internet," which spread wildly across the entire web.

This incident is not only a vicious cyber violence event targeting an ordinary working woman, but also a typical specimen of open-source generative AI technology being abused for digital sex crimes. Below is the detailed timeline organized by this site regarding the evolution process of the "AI pornographic rumors and videos."

I. Timeline of the Fermentation of AI Pornographic Rumors and Forged Videos

1. Foreshadowing and Origin: A 5090 Graphics Card and the First Wave of Hostility (July - Mid-August 2026)

• Early July 2026: CC went to the home of game streamer Wang Haoyu to record a door-to-door recycling video. In the video, she offered a basic valuation of 11,440 yuan for a high-end RTX 5090 D graphics card, which, combined with a 2,060 yuan platform limited-time subsidy coupon, brought the total recycling price to 13,500 yuan; another RTX 5080 in the same session was quoted at 6,000 yuan.
• Mid-August 2026: The edited video was officially launched on Bilibili. Due to a time difference of more than a month between recording and publishing, it happened to coincide with a period when the domestic graphics card market prices were soaring violently due to the US high-end chip supply cut-off and computing power shortages, with the market second-hand price of the 5090D already breaking through 20,000 yuan. The video was quickly pushed to the forefront of public attention, and the comment section was flooded with a large number of angry messages accusing the platform of "suppressing prices to exploit players."
• Blogger's Clarification: CC subsequently released an explanatory video explaining that the recycling prices were given strictly according to the platform's market price system on the day of recording in early July, rather than malicious price suppression. However, the accumulated resentment in the digital circle did not subside.

2. Malicious Metamorphosis: From Digital Controversy to Erotic Parody Comics (August 18, 2026)

• Starting August 18, 2026: The attack target of public opinion completely deviated from "commercial quotation" and began to slide toward appearance shaming and sexualized parody full of gender malice.
• In Baidu Tieba, QQ groups, and some secondary creation comment sections on Bilibili, some people began to extract CC's iconic appearance characteristics of "black-rimmed glasses + work vest" into a so-called "mysterious bespectacled woman" persona, and artists produced and published vulgar erotic derivative comics.
• These comics exploited people's voyeuristic psychology toward working-class female employees, spreading with high frequency in niche communities and tearing open an opening for the large-scale intervention of the black industry.

3. Cybercrime Carnival: AI Deepfake Face Swapping, Spliced Videos, and "Photo Collections" (Mid-September 2026)

• Starting September 15, 2026: The situation escalated severely. Cybercrime syndicates and malicious netizens began systematically using open-source AI image generation and face-swapping technologies (such as Stable Diffusion LoRA training, FaceFusion, and Roop) to extract high-definition facial data from CC's hundreds of public digital review videos.
• The rumor-mongers first maliciously associated CC's identity with nude photos of other women circulating abroad; subsequently, they used AI algorithms to transfer CC's facial features into various pornographic images and adult video clips, producing dozens of fake, high-definition "indecent photo collections" and dozens of seconds to several minutes of "spliced face-swap videos."
• These forged "photo collections" were heavily sold or used for free traffic redirection in Telegram groups, X (formerly Twitter), adult forums, and Baidu Netdisk under highly inflammatory titles such as "Zhuanzhuan CC Leaks" and "Original Footage of the Mysterious Glasses Woman." Tens of thousands of netizens participated in this "request for images" and "request for sources" frenzy filled with morbid curiosity and celebration.

4. Out-of-Control Violence: Launching Cross-Platform Doxxing under the Guise of "Requesting Sources" (September 16, 2026)

• September 16, 2026: While the AI-forged photo collections were spreading, some fanatical netizens and grey/black industry practitioners launched malicious "doxxing."
• The rumor-mongers illegally obtained and publicly released CC's real name, city of residence, work branch, gaming account UID, and mobile contact information in online communities.
• Subsequently, a flood of harassing text messages, private messages containing insulting vocabulary, and phone calls poured into the victim's work and personal life, directly threatening her offline work safety.

5. Taking Up Legal Weapons: Filing a Report, Police Statements, and Official Acceptance (September 17, 2026)

• September 17, 2026, 18:14: After enduring a month of rumor-mongering and harassment, CC, accompanied by legal personnel from Zhuanzhuan, officially went to the local police station to report the case.
• According to the victim, she spent over three hours at the police station giving a statement, submitting notarized and preserved screenshots of online infringement evidence, AI face-swap forgery comparison samples, and doxxing dissemination links.
• The local police authority issued a "Case Acceptance Receipt" in accordance with the law, officially completing case registration and launching a preliminary investigation.

6. Public Exposure Across the Internet and Public Opinion Explosion: "I Was Smeared with Pornographic Rumors for 2 Months, and I Called the Police" (September 30 - October 2026)

• September 30, 2026: After completing the initial legal evidence collection, CC published a long rights-defense video on Bilibili titled I Was Smeared with Pornographic Rumors for 2 Months, and I Called the Police, publicly displaying the police's "Case Acceptance Receipt" in front of the camera for the first time.
• In the video, with a calm yet firm demeanor, she sharply criticized rumor-mongering keyboard warriors and cybercrime practitioners, explicitly stating: All online circulating images of the "mysterious glasses woman," indecent photo collections, and videos are entirely false AI-generated and synthesized content. She will never compromise or quit the internet, and will pursue accountability to the end.
• The video quickly surged to the top of trending searches across the entire internet, with view counts exceeding 3.21 million within 24 hours and over 14,000 comments. Mainstream media outlets such as Sina Tech, Tencent News, and Gamersky followed up with reports, and legal professionals explicitly pointed out that producing and disseminating false obscene AI photo collections violates the Criminal Law regarding the crime of insult and the crime of spreading obscene articles.

II. From a Graphics Card to Cyber Witch Trials: Why Was She the Scapegoat?

Looking back at the entire incident, the most chilling aspect is the absurd logic behind this cyberbullying: An ordinary working person reported a market fluctuation price during her daily work, which ultimately evolved into two months of pornographic defamation and digital doxxing.

In a previous in-depth long-form article by Fanzei, CC Who Collects Phones and Xi Jinping's Daughter , the author precisely hit upon the social-psychological mechanism behind this tragedy:

In contemporary China, an ordinary young person wanting to buy a high-end graphics card needs to save several months' salary; whereas across the ocean, the same graphics card is merely the reward of a few weeks' part-time work for an ordinary high school student.
Why has the 5090 graphics card become so out of reach in China? Because the "wolf warrior diplomacy" of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has triggered comprehensive chip export controls and high-tech embargoes, leading to a shortage of computing power, rampant smuggled goods, and layer upon layer of price markups through channels.
The ordinary gamers' despair and hostility accumulated in their hearts dare not point at the true culprits who caused this graphics card shortage and inflation blockage—the CCP regime; thus, this young female employee wearing glasses, working only for commission, and doing door-to-door recycling became a scapegoat to bear the systemic predicament of an entire era.

More ironically, the weapon used by netizens to vent this suppressed hostility is actually "generative AI," which claims to represent the future of technology. High tech has not brought about the improvement of people's livelihood and freedom; instead, it has rapidly degenerated into the cheapest weapon for bottom-tier mutual harm in a totalitarian society and the sexualized humiliation of vulnerable practitioners.

III. The Selective Blindness and Privileged Divide of the Cyber Leviathan

"CC the Phone Collector" called the police, but the path to rights defense remains long. This also triggers another ultimate question that every reader caught in China's internet ecosystem must face:

Why did the CCP's supposedly "world's strictest" internet monitoring machine fall into a bizarre "malfunction" in this incident?

1. Stunning monitoring efficiency serves only the regime's security:
   In today's China, the Cyberspace Administration of China and the public security departments possess nationwide backbone network censorship mechanisms, facial recognition, and millisecond-level keyword filtering systems. Whenever any citizen publishes comments in WeChat groups, Tieba, or Weibo criticizing the CCP regime, mentioning the Sitong Bridge, June Fourth, or discussing senior leaders, their account is bound to be banned within three minutes, and a local police station's summons call will hit their phone within half an hour.
2. Facing personal insults against an ordinary woman, the Leviathan is "powerless":
   However, when an ordinary female laborer is smeared with rumors on major public platforms, deepfaked with false obscene image sets by AI, and her personal privacy is wantonly doxxed and human-fleshed for a full two months, the platform algorithms not only fail to stop it, but instead heavily promote it relying on the vulgar traffic of the "mysterious glasses woman"; the relevant departments turn a deafening ear, until the victim collects a thick stack of evidence herself and calls the police to make it to the trending searches, only to get a flimsy "case-acceptance receipt".
3. The glaring privileged divide: Xi Mingze and the dignity of ordinary people:
   It is the same case of "personal privacy leakage," yet the treatment differs by cloud and mud:
   • In 2019, the household registration information of Xi Mingze, the daughter of CCP leader Xi Jinping, and her brother-in-law Deng Jiagui was exposed on the overseas website "Chinawiki." The CCP Ministry of Public Security and state security departments immediately established the "190213" national special task force for cross-provincial mass searches, arresting dozens of innocent young netizens, subjecting operations staff Newton Niu to brutal torture, and severely sentencing him to 14 years in prison;
   • Yet when Transsion employee "CC the Phone Collector" was stripped of all dignity and her photos were synthesized into obscene pornographic image sets flying all over the sky, she had to go through lengthy complaints and legal negotiations just to get the platform to take down infringing links.

In the eyes of totalitarian rulers, the privacy of the powerful and elite is an untouchable state secret that must be framed and ruthlessly suppressed using the nation's dictatorial machinery; whereas the digital dignity and personal safety of ordinary people are merely dust that can be consumed by algorithms and trampled by social hostility at any time.

IV. Conclusion and Further Reading

Behind the digital torrent flooded overwhelmingly with so-called "AI-generated images," "fake image sets," and "videos circulating online," every member of the public concerned about this matter should see the truth clearly: Those maliciously manufactured and disseminated fake pictures were never any so-called "welfare," but rather digital weapons stabbing an ordinary law-abiding laborer; that fake video priced explicitly in black-market groups is the bitter fruit a ordinary female swallowed helplessly under a deformed internet ecosystem and social hostility.
