Seems like TOR is nothing but a honeypot for paedophiles these days. "TOR Anonymity" lmao. Once a server is fucked, so are you
More than 100 child abuse victims have been rescued by Queensland police over the past year, after they took over managing a dark web forum. Task Force Argos detectives reportedly took over the site 'Child's Play' to gather details on about 3,000 members and identify victims. The operation led to a number of arrests overseas, including lawyers, military personnel and IT workers.

Australian police secretly operated one of the dark web’s largest child abuse sites for almost a year, posing as its founder in an undercover operation that has triggered arrests and rescues across the globe.
The sting has brought down a vast child exploitation forum, Childs Play, which acted as an underground meeting place for thousands of paedophiles. The police involvement was uncovered by journalists with the Norwegian newspaper, VG, who spent months tracing Childs Play’s origins and monitoring public posts.
The paper’s investigation, shared with the Guardian, led them to the offices of Queensland police’s Taskforce Argos, a specialist child abuse unit, in January.
Unwittingly, they had stumbled on to a sensitive police operation.
The Argos squad had quietly taken over Childs Play three months earlier, assuming the identity of its founder following his arrest for the rape of a four-year-old girl in the US. To maintain their cover, undercover detectives were posting and sharing abuse material on Childs Play. Other users continued to post and view images while the site was under police control.
It was at least the second operation of its type conducted from the unit’s Brisbane headquarters.
