Data.

The charity warns organised criminals are taking advantage of “systemic failures” in online security infrastructure.

Commercial websites host a wide range of child sexual abuse imagery which is available for users to buy. The imagery for sale can involve victims of all ages, and can include some of the most severe and extreme forms of sexual abuse.

Some of these sites have been deliberately disguised to appear as non-criminal sites or to look inactive in an attempt to operate on the open web while avoiding detection. Many of these sites accept payment via cryptocurrencies, card payments or money transfer services.

I wonder if the pedo-king Donald Trump has a stake in these sites, meaning they’ll never be taken down

[–] EvergreenGuru@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Nope, he had a guy for that. Plus he could get someone to find him a woman like Stormy Daniels.

I'm sorry to tell you, but Epstein isn't the going guy doing this for rich and powerful elites. Not by a long shot.

Considering he's dead

[–] MnemonicBump@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Yes, that's my point. Just because he's dead does not mean that all of the his has stopped. This type of guy has existed for a long time, and there are a lot of them. If anything, this whole Epstein thing is the perfect distraction from the fact that this is all still actively happening.

Allegedly.

I didn't examine the body.
