Norwegian Investigators Bust Child Pornography Racket over Dark Web
January 3, 2017
A yearlong investigation has busted a huge child pornography racket and resulted in a seizure of 150 Terabytes of pornographic material. Out of 51 accused, 20 so far have been arrested.
New Nationalist in a news piece titled – 150 Terabytes! Norway Busts Largest Dark Web, Child Porn Networks in History — US, UK Media Ignore Story says:
It’s one of the largest child sex abuse cases in history. A year-long special investigation called “Operation Darkroom” resulted in the seizure of 150 terabytes of data material in the form of photos, movies and chat logs containing atrocities against children as young as infancy, Norwegian police announced at a news conference in late November.
The investigation has opened a Pandora’s box of pedophiles. The accused list mostly comprises of educated individuals like politicians, lawyers, teachers, and a police officer too. Most accused are yet to be apprehended by the investigators.
Despite the bust happening in November followed by a press conference, US and UK based media has turned a blind eye towards this happening. The news report further states:
The Library of Congress holds about 600 terabytes of Web data. Its online archive grows at a rate of about 5 terabytes per month. Also note the horrifically sadistic nature of the material seized. And note that police are investigating the reach as worldwide, which means it involves a massive scale of evil filth. But nobody in the criminally compliant mainstream media thinks its newsworthy.
It might be possible that the world media was busy with US Presidential elections, thus its reporting was very low key. An interesting take away from this entire sad episode – the Dark Web is not a hideout of hackers, terrorists, drug dealers, and hitmen – seemingly upright citizens lurk on Dark Web too.
