      True, but only one of the suspects is alleged to be involved with CSAM. Also, it seems like that wasn’t the original lead the police were pursuing, given that the charges were added post-arrest. This seems very much like an anti-piracy operation that just happened to catch a pedophile as well.

      Reserve judgements until there is some real evidence. Think of the children narratives open a lot of doors for intrusive actions and advance a pirate=criminal narrative.

      That’s an extreme offense, and thus, requires an extreme amount of evidence.

    What a sloppy way to write this article. Header text to indicate CSAM then just naming people liberating netflix. Does german netflix stream CSAM? Or is this news outlet just kind of implying these people are sex criminals for fun?

    On a different note, would love to hear from/about the 15 out of 18 people who were searched in Feb and apparently got away. Either being targeted for harassment by authorities, huge false positive fuckups, or have amazing opsec.

      then just naming people liberating netflix.

      The arrest warrant for a 25-year-old from Hamburg has since been extended because he is now suspected of inciting serious sexual abuse of children via a messenger service and producing child pornography content, among other things.

      Those are two very different things…
