'WhatsApp child sex images' led to arrests
A total of 39 people have been arrested over child sexual exploitation images apparently shared via WhatsApp.
And it just does not surprise me. If there's anything the Internet is good for is rapid transmission of anything under the sun: pirated credit card numbers, passwords, to the even more illicit and illegal.
I've known the "Dark Web" and what it might have to offer. It's a really scary place, and I really don't trust it to a large degree. Free content, sure. It's slow and unpredictable, but it's rife with stuff. The pay parts I haven't even begun to try to scratch.
It has its merits, though, being a next-to-impossible traceable place where the "Underground" -- covert journalists, people fearing for their lives, and sexual minorities in places that shun and worse them -- can exchange information and communicate. This "Underground" seems to include pedophiles and ephebophiles too, and trading information on the Dark Web to facilitate Light Web transactions (where it's a lot speedier, but can still have a lot of encryption) I don't blame them for doing it.
It's probably an infiltration that eventually got them caught.
At least for now...
