Online pedophilia - action called "Dark Room"
Norwegian police are chasing people who share pedophilic content on the Internet. This action is known as "Dark Room". For this purpose, officers use resources from the so-called "Deep Web" to identify and track people sharing such material. So far, pedophilia on the Internet has been a huge challenge for law enforcement services due to the high anonymity of Internet users using these resources. As it turns out - it starts to change.

Over 100 suspects
According to Hilde Reikras in an interview with Aftenposten, the action "Dark Room" is already bringing results. As a result of this operation, 7 people were indicted, and 46 people were detained pending the investigation. In turn, court proceedings have already been initiated against 5 people. The remaining cases are still under investigation, and some of them have been delegated to other countries because they did not concern crimes committed by Norwegian nationals.

Up to 9 years in prison
Persons who have been charged may spend the next 9 years in prison - this is a punishment for sharing pedophile content on the Internet. The first hearings will be held in December and concern, inter alia, men from Hordaland and Sogn og Fjordane. There are many indications that the court proceedings will not be concluded quickly. All due to the fact that the collected evidence is circumstantial. This will be a huge obstacle in resolving the case and proving guilt.

Pedophilia on the Web and the "Deep Web"
"Dark Web" is a hidden part of the Internet, which is part of the so-called Deep Web. It is not available from the level of standard web browsers, and many websites operating there are not included in indexes, among others Google, Yahoo! or Bing. Viewing content in the "Deep Web" takes place via the "DarkNet", which is made up of many distributed and anonymous nodes, and is used for this, inter alia, Tor Browser.

Since there is no efficient Google-sized search engine in place, the Deep Web can be searched through web directories. One of the most popular of these sites is "The Hidden Wiki". You can also search for interesting information via DuckDuckGo or Ahmia, for example. The hidden part of the Internet is - contrary to popular belief - not only illegal content, although it is dominant there.

DarkNet - what will we find there?
Online pedophilia is a huge problem and unfortunately - some of such content can be found via the DarkNet network. As it turns out, almost 50% of Deep Web resources are completely legal resources (according to Help Net Security).
The problem is that the Deep Web has been adapted by criminal organizations. All thanks to the high anonymity offered by the use of Internet resources through the DarkNet infrastructure. Pedophiles have also found their place, using hidden resources not only to share, but also to view sexual acts involving children.
