Nearly 900 members of a global ‘dark web’ pedophile ring sprawling Europe and the Americas have been arrested following a two-year investigation, the FBI and Europol reported after the website’s founder was handed a 30-year jail sentence.

Shedding light on the scope of the operation which is still active, the FBI revealed that in the US alone, 350 arrests were made as part of a wide-ranging investigation into Playpen – a secret website that is being referred to as possibly the biggest child pornography online dump that ever existed.

Time for a buddy check?

I read that the fbi had taken control of the website and kept it running for (x?) Amount of time which is how they were able to make all those arrests. But it sounds like the website was actively producing their material which also freed 300 kids. So.... the fbi was producing child porn and enslaving kids? I'm not sure of a better way to make all those busts but it still sounds pretty.... awful how they had to go about doing it.
