Excellent work. That’s an unimaginable amount of abuse material.

1.8 million users and they only caught 1000?

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Hopefully, they went after the pimps and financiers.

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I don't suspect they went after any viewers, only uploaders.

Wow, with such a daring name as well. Fucking disgusting.

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.

I regularly see people on Lemmy advocating for pedophilia, at LEAST every 3 months as a popular, upvoted stance. I argue with them in my history

Isnit not encouraging that it is ostracised and removed from normal people. There are horrible parts of everything in nature, life is good despite those people and because of the rest combatting their shittiness

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.

If that's the actual splash screen that pops up when you try to access it (no, I'm not going to go to it and check, I don't want to be on a new and exciting list) then kudos to the person who put that together. Shit goes hard. So do all the agency logos.

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.

[–] lumony@lemmings.world 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It would feel odd, but you have to remember we live in a world where Epstein was allowed to get away with what he did until the little people found out.
