can any tor users elaborate?

Any tor user can tell you that the majority of people asking for CP on TOR are government officials, celebrities, and billionaires trying to buy child sex slaves for their private islands.

so basically they're just hiding their operation? or is it tech their using that they don't want disclosed?

thanks for the input

This

Its the people asking, not the websites that are honeypots. The government wants the people making the cp and that's rarely found on websites.

so what's your opinion on the article in question? why would they drop the case?

the fuck?!?!

There could be a number of reasons why it was dropped. I don't think its any new age tech they are hiding.

they probably examined the case and realized some aspect of the case compromised highly-confidential information of some sort and the case can't be made without exposing it

like when your mole in a terrorist group delivers critical information to you, but when the information is examined they determine there is no way to use the information without compromising the mole, and the long-term presence of the mole outweighs acting on the information

thanks

this is what I was thinking, just hoping someone with any expertise in this realm would enlighten us. thanks though

Maybe it has something to do with pizzagate lol

i am familiar with this case and can tell you the technological interceptions is only part of the reason they dropped the case.

the last thing they want to explain in a lengthy trial to a jury and judge is why the FBI continued running a child porn site for 13 days after arresting the host

who knows. the article leaves much to speculate, but I can't tell if they're trying to cover up something sinister or something benign like

They probably got only "lurkers", not actual abusers or even pedo rings members. These people poses low threat to society and putting them in prison was not worth the disclosure.

could you give me some search terms to help follow the case?

yes but which disclosure? that they are themselves running child pron, or that tor somehow has been "modified" for them? sorry not super savvy

...sorry but that is horesehit.

>Once the site's administrators had been arrested, the FBI kept the site going for 13 days to gather information about members.

this guy on Sup Forums claims rumors say that the FBI had set up and was running child porn websites.

Which is illegal. It's not that TOR was compromised, it's that they attained the evidence to arrest those people illegally.

thanks, any leads to follow to corroborate?

ha, thought that would work. guess i'm missing something
