Pinterest: Difference between revisions

Sometime around November 17th, 2020, Daniel's Pinterest account was found and had it's contents revealed to the public. It is not entirely clear who the person who initially found it was (with it most commonly being attributed that it was [[Flexburger]], which is untrue), but it can most likely be pinned on now-banned TikToker @HottieLarson. The account featured a plethora of photos of underage girls (most notably Grace VanderWaal), a map of the age of consent in the United States, and several other disturbing things. However, on February 3, 2023, Daniel publicly admitted to owning the account and masturbating to the images he had saved. He claimed his actions were driven by a desire for fame and attributed his behavior to past abuse from care providers. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6vYpnyAES0</ref> Several months later, Daniel told a fan in person that the account was created as an attempt to go viral, though he also stated that the account had been hacked. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5NSv-qtVmg</ref>

In September 24, 2023, Daniel's new Pinterest account was discovered by Reddit user u/Fun-Simple640. The account was active for four months prior to its discovery. After Daniel shared a screenshot of one of the pins to his Community Tab, the account was quickly found and subsequently deleted. The content was very similar to the account he had years prior. Despite Grace being an adult at the time, Daniel still saved photos from when she was underage. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/16rj3hj/more_weird_stuff_i_found_on_his_new_pinterest/</ref> Daniel denied ownership of the Pinterest the next day, claiming he did not even have the app installed.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAu-8HvwDh0</ref>
