Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
Six people with links to the network were arrested.
I can understand only arresting 6 people, because I doubt very many people had their hands on the actual website. But the fact that hundreds of thousands of people actually interacted with the site is downright mind boggling.
If it's any comfort (it might not be), a few hundred thousand out of like 8 billion is a pretty small percentage. It's troubling that it evaded the law for long enough to accumulate that many users in one place, though :/
It's 1 in ten thousand. Likely much more in Europe or North America, accounting for people without reliable Internet access and non-English speakers. There's statistically at least a hand full in your city, if it's larger than a village
it could be you, it could be me, it could even be-
Phrasing on that headline. 😂
Yea, it is quite unfortunate
Yeah, but did they take down the website only, or did they also take down the content they mostly link to?
In the past, there have been investigations by multiple news outlets where they found that German police would routinely seize forums and domains where links to CP were posted but would not request the hosting providers of the linked content to delete the material.
I heard about this on the Radio yesterday, IIRC they have information on a good amount of the users. I hope they find them.
They smashed it? What, did they hit the server with a sledgehammer? Did a cop turn into The Hulk? What?
German police say they have shut down a "dizzyingly large" child sexual abuse image website
Bah.
Yea, the title suck.
How the fuck someone can hoard 14 fucking terabytes of sick photos???
I hope everyone involved in the production of such material spends the rest of their lives in a Guantanamo style box
Hundreds of thousands of users??
some of them might even be Lemmy users...
data storage detection dogs
didnt know dogs were used for this too!
I bet they did
A++ Would smash again.
