Kidflix Busted: Operation Stream Shuts Down Dark Web’s Largest CSAM Platform
Kidflix, a notorious dark web platform for streaming child sexual abuse material, has been shut down in a massive international crackdown led by German law enforcement. Dubbed Operation Stream, the initiative resulted in 79 arrests and 1,393 suspects identified, exposing the sinister side of the internet that you won’t find in any streaming service guide.
Hot Take:

But unlike your favorite TV series, this cancellation is met with applause rather than outrage.
