The name of it sounds like a streaming service for children's movies and TV shows. Like, Netflix for kids. In the past 5 years I have seen at least 3 deepweb social communities that started out normally, with a lot of people talking shit and enjoying anonymous free speech. Then I log in a couple weeks or months later to find CP being posted and no mods doing anything to stop it. In all those cases, I reported the site to the FBI anonymously and erased my login from my password manager.

Goddam what an obvious fucking name. If you wrote a procedural cop show where the child traffickers ran a site called KidFlix, you'd be laughed out of the building for being so on-the-nose.

During the investigation, Europol’s analysts from the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) provided intensive operational support to national authorities by analysing thousands of videos.

I don't know how you can do this job and not get sick because looking away is not an option

This kind of shit is why i noped out of the digital forensics field. I would have killed myself if I had to see that shit everyday.

You do get sick, and I would be most surprised if they didnt allow people to look away and take breaks/get support as needed.

Most emergency line operators and similar kinds of inspectors get them, so it would be odd if they did not.

Yes, my wife used to work in the ER, she still tells the same stories over and over again 15 years later, because the memories of the horrible shit she saw doesn't go away

I'm sure many of them numb themselves to it, and pretend it isn't real in order to do the job. Then unfortunately, I'm sure some of them get addicted themselves.

Similar to undercover cops who do drugs while undercover, then get addicted to the drugs.

And it didn't even require sacrificing encryption huh!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Basically the only reason I read the article is to know if they needed a "backdoor" in encryption, guess the don't need it, like everyone with a little bit of IT knowledge always told them.

"See we caught these guys without doing it, thank of how many more we can catch if we do! Like all the terrorists America has caught with violating their privacy. ...Maybe some day they will."

Kidflix sounds like a feature on Nickelodeon. The world is disgusting.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Or a Netflix for children/video editing app for primary schoolers in the early 2000s/late 1900s.

They also seized 72,000 illegal videos from the site and personal information of its users, resulting in arrests of 1,400 suspects around the world.

Wow

Maybe Jeff Bezos will write an article about him and editorialize about "personal liberty". I have to keep posting this because every day another MAGA/lover - religious bigot or otherwise pretend upstanding community member is indicted or arrested for heinous acts against women and children.

Massive congratulations to Europol and its partners in taking this shit down and putting these perverts away. However, they shouldn't rest on their laurels. The objective now is to ensure that the distribution of this disgusting material is stopped outright and that no further children are harmed.

Sure, it'll only cost you every bit of your privacy as governments make illegal and eliminate any means for people to communicate without the eye of Big Brother watching.

Every anti-privacy measure that governments put forward is always like "We need to be able to track your location in real time, read all of your text messages and see every picture that your phone ever takes so that we can catch the .001% of people who are child predators. Look at how scary they are!

Why are you arguing against these anti-pedophile laws?! You don't support child sex predators do you?!"

Here’s a reminder that you can submit photos of your hotel room to law enforcement, to assist in tracking down CSAM producers. The vast majority of sex trafficking media is produced in hotels. So being able to match furniture, bedspreads, carpet patterns, wallpaper, curtains, etc in the background to a specific hotel helps investigators narrow down when and where it was produced.

Wouldnt this be so much better if we got hoteliers on board instead of individuals

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They're only concerned with the room fees.

Don't see, don't tell.

Sadly.
