    Some reporter(s?) in Germany found that all the forums for CSA actually host their material in the clearnet, i.e. on Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. (since TOR speeds are shit and those people don’t watch SD videos anymore).

    The police could have demanded data from the uploading accounts and that the material was taken offline. They refused to do so, in order to “catch more criminals” or something like that.

    So, their “think of the children” is exactly as in the spirit of Helen Lovejoy as it seems.

      They also openly use youtube for distributing passwords and pastebin links to such content. I have seen multiple channels from a specific country (starts with I) that does this, sometimes going so far as to flash a single letter of the password at a time throughout innocent-looking childrens videos, with the encrypted pastebin link on the last video that requires the full password to unlock. Some others on a site I will not name have been trying to report these channels for several days (they have actually been operating for years with millions of views) but youtube isn’t doing anything. Only company who has done anything was mediafire for removing some actual content.
