Fuck this human
Tldr; Asshole used encrypted everything and Tor to create and spread csam. Government isn't disclosing how they caught him
Neither Tor nor end-to-end encrypted messengers will cover the endpoints. It's possible that they caught him using good old fashioned detective work. You don't need a software back door for that.
Please don't talk about child predators, and use the term "back door" in the same sentence. It ain't right....
we’re talking about encryption here, not…that. please get your mind out of the gutter
