European police say KidFlix, "one of the largest pedophile platforms in the world," busted in joint operation.

my only opinion here was maybe don't lose your shit over a simple word. I think it's pretty solid.

yea its often hidden too well to be easily found out and authorities might want to gather evidence so they let it accumulate then they pounce. one of the sites was mostly inneundos and talking about commiting it, but not actually distributing the material, they co-opt certain images to pervert it.

That would be acceptable, but that’s unfortunately not what’s happening. Like I said: due to the majority of the files being hosted on file sharing platforms of the normal web, it’s way more effective to let them be deleted by those platforms.
Some investigative journalist tried this, and documented the frustration among the users of child porn websites, to reload all the GBs/TBs of material, so that they rather quitted and shut down their sites, than going the extra mile -
Happy cake day!

For anyone interested in the Kik controversy: There's a great episode of the Darknet Diaries podcast about it: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/93/

Also Epstein got a lot of cover from non-criminal association with some rich and powerful people. Not everyone who rode on his plane was a nonce.

Depends on your taste for stories and the general atmosphere. I think in better parts of Star Wars EU this would make sense (or it wouldn't, but the right way, same as in reality).

This also helps child predators and other traffickers.
Having backdoors and means to create stalkerware and spy after people in various ways benefits those who have energy to use them and some safety. Lack of truly private communications also benefits them. The victims generally have very little means to ask for help without the criminals knowing that.
Human trafficking, sexual exploitation, drugs, all these things are high-value crime. They benefit law enforcement getting part of the pie, which means that law enforcement having better ability to surveil communications will not help against them, - the criminals will generally know what is safe and what is not for them, and they will get assistance in such services.
Surveillance helps against non-violent crime - theft, smuggling, fraud, and usually only low-value operations.
Surveillance doesn't help against high-value crime with enough incentive to make connections in law enforcement, and money finds a way, so those connections are made and operations continue.
Giving more power to law enforcement means law enforcement trading it in relationship with organized crime. To function better, it needs more transparent, clean and accountable organization, not more power.
But all this is not important, when someone is guilt-shaming you into giving up your full right, you should just tell them to fuck off. This concerns privacy.
This also concerns guns. The reason it's hard to find arguments in favor of gun (I mean combat arms, not handguns or hunting rifles) ownership is because successful cases for it are rare (by nature, that's normal, you don't need a combat rifle in your life generally, your country also doesn't need a nuke generally, but it has one and many more), and unsuccessful (bad outcome, but proving the need for gun ownership) are more common, but hard to notice, - it's every time you obey when you shouldn't (by that I mean that you harm others by obeying).
Point being - no person telling you that dignity should be traded for better life has any idea. You are not a criminal for desiring and achieving privacy, you are also not a criminal for doing the same with means to defend yourself, you are also not a criminal for saying all politicians and bureaucrats of your country are shit-swimming jerks and should be fired, and even demanding it. And if someone makes a law telling you differently, that's not a law, just someone forgot they are not holding Zeus by the beard.
