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

That’s unfortunately (not really sure) probably the fault of Germanys approach to that.
It is usually not taking these websites down but try to find the guys behind it and seize them. The argument is: they will just use a backup and start a “KidFlix 2” or sth like that.
Some investigations show, that this is not the case and deleting is very effective. Also the German approach completely ignores the victim side. They have to deal with old men masturbating to them getting raped online. Very disturbing…wrote 7 days ago last edited byAnd yet there are cases like Kim Dotcom, Snowden, Manning, Assange...

If you have stumbled on CP online in the last 10 years, you're either really unlucky or trawling some dark waters. This ain't 2006. The internet has largely been cleaned up.

Who said anything about punishing the people hosting the sites. I was talking about punishing the people uploading and producing the content. The ones doing the part that is orders of magnitude worse than anything else about this.
wrote 7 days ago last edited byI'd be surprised if many "producers" are caught. From what I have heard, most uploads on those sites are reuploads because it's magnitudes easier.
Of the 1400 people caught, I'd say maybe 10 were site administors and the rest passive "consumers" who didn't use Tor. I wouldn't put my hopes up too much that anyone who was caught ever committed child abuse themselves.
I mean, 1400 identified out of 1.8 million really isn't a whole lot to begin with.

I once saw a list of defederated lemmy instances. In most cases, and I mean like 95% of them, the reason of thedefederation was pretty much in the instance name. CP everywhere. Humanity is a freaking mistake.

You're just seeing "survivor's bias" (as nasty as that sounds in this case) not a general representation.

Fuck, the head guy of Reddit, u/spez, was the main mod of r/jailbait before he changed the design of reddit so he could hide mod names. Also, look into the u/MaxwellHill / Ghilisaine Maxwell conspiracy on Reddit.

I imagine it's easier to catch uploaders than viewers.
It's also probably more impactful to go for the big "power producers" simultaneously and quickly before word gets out and people start locking things down.

I used to work in netsec and unfortunately government still sucks at hiring security experts everywhere.
That being said hiring here is extremely hard - you need to find someone with below market salary expectation working on such ugly subject. Very few people can do that. I do believe money fixes this though. Just pay people more and I'm sure every European citizen wouldn't mind 0.1% tax increase for a more effective investigation force.

Someone runs their mouth, or you catch someone with incrimination evidence on them. Then you lean on them to tell you where to go.

This feels like one of those things where couch critics aren't qualified. There's a pretty strong history of three letter agencies using this strategy successfully in other organized crime industries.

Honestly, if the existing victims have to deal with a few more people masturbating to the existing video material and in exchange it leads to fewer future victims it might be worth the trade-off but it is certainly not an easy choice to make.
wrote 7 days ago last edited byWell, some pedophiles have argued that AI generated child porn should be allowed, so real humans are not harmed, and exploited.
I'm conflicted on that. Naturally, I'm disgusted, and repulsed.
But if no real child is harmed...
I don't want to think about it, anymore.
