Does it feel odd to anyone else that a platform for something this universally condemned in any jurisdiction can operate for 4 years, with a catchy name clearly thought up by a marketing person, its own payment system and nearly six figure number of videos? I mean even if we assume that some of those 4 years were intentional to allow law enforcement to catch as many perpetrators as possible this feels too similar to fully legal operations in scope.

Illegal business can operate online for a long time if they have good OpSec. Anonymous payment systems are much easier these days because of cryptocurrencies.

Fuck man. I used to use a program called “Kidpix” when I was a kid. It was like ms paint but with fun effects and sounds.
-
I know I'm not heartless yet because I am still traumatized by the brick in the window video...
-
It's a side effect of privacy and security. The one side effect they're trying to use to undermine all of the privacy and security.
-
Fuck. Don't make me think about that video. Fuck. Shit.
-
I'll probably regret asking, but I'm out of the loop and insatiably curious.
Brick in the window video?
-
Gonna ruin me, but seconding. Brick in the window video?
-
If it's what I'm thinking of, camera footage of a vehicle interior.
Driving down the highway, going under an overpass when a brick gets tossed by some kids and goes through the window.
Passenger hit, husband is driving and screams.
You know that scream they mention in The Princess Bride? That "only someone experiencing ultimate suffering" can make?
If you know, you know.

1.8m users, how the hell did they ran that website for 3 years?
-
To sanitize the traumatic video as much as possible: A man is driving under an overpass and a brick is dropped through the passenger side window instantly killing his wife. He reacts in horror.
-
I've never seen that video but I can hear that scream from the husband. That's some fucked up shit.
-
Same here! We had it on a Macintosh LC 575. I will never forget those sound effects haha.
-
Oh no. I remember that video now. I didn't need to remember that video. Why did I have to ask?!
-
On average, around 3.5 new videos were uploaded to the platform every hour, many of which were previously unknown to law enforcement.
Absolutely sick and vile. I hope they honey potted the site and that the arrests keep coming.

Haha yep, kidpix deluxe 3 I remember fondly
