European police say KidFlix, "one of the largest pedophile platforms in the world," busted in joint operation

Source: CBS

German investigators said Wednesday that they had dismantled a major platform for the distribution of child sexual abuse images that had 1.8 million users worldwide, in an international operation coordinated by the pan-European police agency Europol.

The move to shut down the "KidFlix" streaming service was "one of the biggest blows against child pornography in recent years, if not ever," said Guido Limmer, deputy head of the Bavarian Criminal Police.

The investigation was led by German police and supported by authorities in 38 countries, including Australia, Canada and the U.S., under the coordination of Europol.

In all, "KidFlix" is said to have hosted more than 91,000 videos with images of child sexual abuse, totaling around 6,288 hours of video, according to the Bavarian police force.

Went unnoticed until recently? I'm not cop but that seems a little obvious and on the nose as it were.

Only accessible for people who were looking specifically for it. Likely it was also invite only.
