They’re calling for the Epstein Files Transparency Act to pass, which would require the government to release Epstein’s files.

Despite political pushback, including Trump calling it a “Democrat hoax that never ends”, survivors made it clear: this is not about politics. It’s about truth & justice.⚖️⁠

But without meaningful action from the Tor Project, CSAM continues to circulate unchecked. This revictimizes and allows offender communities to thrive by sharing CSAM, abuse methods, and tactics to avoid detection.

Learn more via @cdnchildprotect.bsky.social's background document 📄

The Tor Project has built its network so the hosting locations of CSAM sites are nearly impossible to trace. Which, currently leaves law enforcement and hotlines with only one option for takedown requests: the Tor Project itself. 🧑🏼‍💻

Since 2017, Project Arachnid has found:
👉 44,336 onion services hosting CSAM
👉 2,853,485 images/videos of CSAM

And that’s only what was detected with limited resources. The real number is even higher.

CSAM distribution on Tor is not inevitable; The network’s creators have the power to act Why has the Canadian Centre for Child Protection been notifying the organization behind the “Dark web” of the mass distribution of child sexual abuse material on their network?

@cdnchildprotect.bsky.social background document explains the role Tor plays, the scale of the problem, and how its creators could reduce harm to children.

Privacy at a cost: the dark web’s main browser helps pedophile networks flourish, experts say The Tor network’s privacy architecture creates a safe haven for predators to share child sexual abuse material

🚨Tor (The Onion Router) enables anonymous browsing and creating websites (“Onion services”).

Tor is one of the most common online resources used to host/make CSAM available on the internet.

Speaking to why more people aren’t outraged, Jennifer expressed hope for change:
“There are many people who are outraged by this, and that’s why the story really hasn’t died… I don’t think it’s going to stop until there’s really sufficient transparency. And I’m hopeful about that.” 🙌🏼❤️‍🩹

When asked about our client Maria Farmer, she underscored the decades of government inaction since Maria first reported in 1996:
