The Tor network’s privacy architecture creates a safe haven for predators to share child sexual abuse materialMillions of child predators are forming sprawling online communities on the dark web using the Tor network, where criminal behavior escalates through the sharing of child sexual abuse material, grooming strategies and normalization of exploitation, experts say.
