German police say they have shut down a “dizzyingly large” child sexual abuse image website with hundreds of thousands of users. Six people with links to the network were arrested.

    Yeah, but did they take down the website only, or did they also take down the content they mostly link to?

    In the past, there have been investigations by multiple news outlets where they found that German police would routinely seize forums and domains where links to CP were posted but would not request the hosting providers of the linked content to delete the material.

      I heard about this on the Radio yesterday, IIRC they have information on a good amount of the users. I hope they find them.
