FBI Hunt For Child Porn Thwarted By Tor 714

v3rgEz writes "Documents released by the FBI provide an unusual inside look at how the agency is struggling to penetrate 'darknet' Onion sites routed through Tor, the online privacy tool funded in part by government grants to help global activists. In this case, agents were unable to pursue specific leads about an easily available child pornography site, while files withheld indicate that the FBI has ongoing investigations tied to the Silk Road marketplace, a popular, anonymous Tor site for buying and selling drugs and other illegal materials." Sounds similar to the problems that plagued freenet.

If it is a supply and demand issue, then maybe we should let the free market sort it out.

My parents had a scrap book that had pictures of me butt naked in a kiddie pool in the back yard.

Of course, I was 28 at the time.

"Vivid roleplaying of homosexual violence (commonly found in sports)."
