The European Police says Kidflix,

The German researchers said Wednesday that they had dismantled an important platform for the distribution of children’s sexual abuse that had 1.8 million users worldwide, in an international operation coordinated by the Paneuropea Europol Police Agency.

The movement to close the “Kidflix” transmission service was “one of the biggest blows against child pornography in recent years, if not,” said Guido Limmer, deputy chief of the Bavarian criminal police.

The investigation was directed by the German police and supported by the authorities in 38 countries, including Australia, Canada and the United States, under the coordination of Europol.

In total, it is said that “Kidflix” organized more than 91,000 videos with images of child sexual abuse, with a total of around 6,288 hours of video, according to the Bavarian police force.

The authorities were able to identify almost 1,400 individual users of the platform, who lodged in the call Darknet or Dark web.

Police in March searches in locations in 31 countries in the “largest operation” organized by Europol, according to Limmer.

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

In Germany, the police made raids in 96 locations, aimed at 103 individual suspects, said Bavara Police.

The German authorities said they had worked to identify the children victims of abuse while the investigation was still in progress.

Police arrested a 36 -year -old man in the city of Chemnitz from Eastern Germany in January 2024 who had looked for images of abuse in “Kidflix.”

The man had also “offered his little son for the games,” Limmer said. The child had been delivered to child protection services.

The researchers had also been able to identify an “series” abuser in the United States, Limmer said.

“Kidflix” was created in 2021 by a “cybercriminal that obtained huge profits from it,” according to Europol “, since it quickly became one of the most popular platforms among pedophiles.”

According to the International Police Agency of the International Police Agency of the International Police Agency of the International Police Agency, they went up to 3.5 new videos.
