I"m 58 I've been doing IT work since 1994. This has been going on since Dial-up BBS systems were created prior to the internet. Just a few years after the internet was created the BBS sites that were connected to a phone line were connected to the internet and you could get AOL or Compuserve and use those internet access platforms to access the BBS content. BBS operators were already sharing porn including child porn and snuff content, beastiality and pretty much anything else you can imagine over phone lines years before that. Shortly after the internet went public in the early 90s the newsgroups were moved online and proliferated. Newsgroups were just a computer on a phone line you connected to like a BBS to access obscure and rare content similar to the dark web of today. The newsgroups immediately became a huge sewer of illicit content of all kinds and this was well known by the powers that be including the FBI. Yahoo and AOL became the biggest players in the internet social media game with Yahoo chat and AOL chat rooms hosting debauchery of all kinds as well. It was all out there and back then it was easy to find out who was doing what because there weren't hundreds of millions of accounts and thousands of internet providers like we have today. The providers aren't doing anything to protect kids or victims of exploitation. They're profiting from it. LE allows it because they don't have the resources to arrest literally hundreds of millions of people for being scumbag pedophiles and psychopathic creeps. You should probably just keep your secret and maybe not advertise that you're reporting these people because some of them are real criminals and will come after you personally to protect themselves. Law enforcement know's all about this stuff and they're not doing anything to stop it in many cases they're participating and watching it and turning a blind eye. Chris Hansen isn't protecting the kids he's making a bunch of money on his TV show luring these scumbags in and entrapping them for profit in very small numbers. Once in a while we hear of a pedo ring being taken down or a one off arrest of some person sharing child porn or other nasty exploitative material but by and large these people are left alone. Even you reporting them is just another drop in the bucket of things they're already aware of and don't care about. That's just the world we live in now. Welcome to the internet. Welcome to the nightmare.
