In the fall of 2023, Romana Diedelow, a woman calling herself the Queen of Canada,

drove into Richmond, Saskatchewan with a fleet of RVs and set up her kingdom in an abandoned school.

So the town banded together to get the cult out by any means necessary.

My name is Rachel Brown, and in this season of Uncover, I explore what happens when a

conspiracy theory lands in your backyard. The Cult Queen of Canada. Available now on CBC Listen

and everywhere you get your podcasts. This is a CBC podcast. Deepfake porn is a billion-click industry built on stolen faces, while the people making it hide theirs behind screens.

I'm Sam Cole, and I'm a journalist, an author, and the host of the brand new season of

Understood, Deepfake Porn Empire. This season traces the decades-long rise of synthetic porn, the targets who are

fighting back, and the global investigation that led to its Canadian kingpin. Now here's

episode one, the dawn of fake porn. Have a listen. It's January 31st, 2023, when a streamer who goes by Cutie Cinderella wakes up.

And something strange is happening.

She's trending on Twitter, which even when you're internet famous like cutie is, is really never a good sign.

And I'm like, just waking up, trying to figure out what is going on. And then I get a call from one of the women involved that she's like, oh, have you seen everything? I'm like, no. And then she really broke it down for me. And we went through it. And then that's the first time I got on Twitter. And I was like, oh, my God. Like, ugh.

Cudy Cinderella is a Twitch streamer.

We're doing something fun today.

I think it's genuinely been a few years since we have done and asked me anything about me.

Cutty Cinderella, hi, that's me.

Hi, guys.

So we're going to do that today.

Streaming is pretty simple. You broadcast yourself live, usually playing video games,

to thousands of people watching in real time.

Oh, boy.
