The Europol-supported operation led to 79 arrests and 1.400 identifications
Kidflix, one of the largest paedophile platforms in the world, has been shut down in an international operation against child sexual exploitation. The investigation was supported by Europol and led by the State Criminal Police of Bavaria (Bayerisches Landeskriminalamt) and the Bavarian Central Office for the Prosecution of Cybercrime (ZCB). Over 35 countries worldwide participated in the operation.
A total of 1.8 million users worldwide logged on to the platform between April 2022 and March 2025. On 11 March 2025, the server, which contained around 72 000 videos at the time, was seized by German and Dutch authorities.
The investigation resulted in the identification of almost 1 400 suspects worldwide. So far, 79 of these individuals have been arrested for sharing and distributing child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Some of those arrested not only uploaded and watched videos but also abused children. The investigation is ongoing.
It is good news, but it comes with the unwelcome knowledge of that platform existing in the first place.
WTF, such platforms exist, at such scale?
Also the name as if it is just any normal business, totally surprised about this too
You’d think nothing would surprise me anymore, but this sounds so unreal.
In case you haven’t read the whole article, they saved 39 children from being sexually abused. Unreal.
It sounds like something out of a dystopian novel.
Yuck
