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


Police in Europe say "one of the largest pedophile platforms in the world" is now offline after a joint operation dismantled the "KidFlix" network.

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. A joint raid by German and Dutch authorities resulted in the seizure of a hard drive with around 72,000 videos of child sexual abuse, he said.
