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.

    to identify and arrest as many users as possible.

    You mean, to identify the gangs running them. Identifying the users helps nothing, same for just shutting it down.

        Depends on jurisdiction. And better they watch it and not do it, no? Remember, pedophilia is a disorder.

          That reasoning would be fine if it weren’t for the fact that the gangs have to abduct and harm children to make their CSAM.

            With AI and Hentai? Well, i’m not a phsychologist, so i guess it’s not always enough?

            I only wanted to say that you shouldn’t conflate the disorder with the people who act on it. And i also don’t want to downplay the problem.
