The puppet is Ian.
Or rather, the puppet is the face Ian chose.
Ian doesn't put his real face online. That's not a bit and it's not a brand exercise. He decided a while ago that sharing his real identity publicly isn't safe, so Puppet Ian is how he shows up: same person, chosen face. Every image of him you'll see here is built from that puppet on purpose.
Ian's advice, plain.
Stop putting your photos, your videos, and your voice recordings online. Probably ever again. It is too easy now. Any bloke with a free app can lift your likeness straight from your own posts and make a synthetic you, to use for whatever harm they've envisioned. Every photo is training data. Every voice note is a clone waiting to happen. Once it's out there you don't get it back. The puppet exists because Ian got there first. You can get there now, before you have to learn it the hard way.
If you're a parent.
Don't let your teen be the one whose life was destroyed because a classmate shared fake nude photos of her or him. Talk about this tonight, not after it happens.
Set up a family safe word.
Don't let someone you love get scammed out of thousands of dollars by a faked kidnapping, or a call for help that sounds exactly like your kid, made believable with a cloned voice. Set up a family safe word now, while it's still a calm conversation.
If this landed, follow for the next one.
