I have already reported it to ncmec but the site purports to have "teen" "content" but when opened is some kind of horrifying CSAM distribution forum where the only posts seem to be an administrator posting links to file host sites with EXTREMELY questionable OR outright illegal names. It was unlike other sites mentioned here, as there were no users posting. I don't know what to make of it at all. I haven't kept track of the sub as of late but I do not think anyone as mentioned this after a cursory search of the sub.
I don't really understand how something like this is just sitting online but hopefully there could be some coordinated effort to take it offline, though I'm only seasoned in reporting, so I will leave that up to mods.

Thank you for not saying the website’s name. Not a lot of people see the issue with saying it and it sucks. Again thank you
I think you should report it to the fbi
Already kind of spooked and don't want to further be associated with this site. I was using a vpn when i encountered it and a few of file host links that I also reported to their host sites through their internal abuse report (so presumably they will take them down) but I am FREAKED over exposure as is.
Honestly because you posted about it without giving anyone else an opportunity to report it to the FBI, it's now completely your responsibility to do so. Set your feelings aside and do what's right.
If a mod contacts me I am more than happy to proceed from there, I only know the obvious in that sharing the names of these sites causes more harm than good especially if they are not well known. I will report it to that link though out of abundant caution.

Not sharing the way this was found so nice try if that's what you're trying to do. But assume bad faith in everyone and enjoy the path that leads to in life.
i feel hopeless reporting to the fbi knowing that the government sides with pedophiles and rapists...
use this website to do so:

File a formal complaint with the police; this can and should be traced.
This is a crime.
I came across one of these a few years ago as well. I haven’t had the stomach to go back and check if it’s still up but the format sounds worryingly similar. I hope your report leads to a takedown.
Doubt it’s the same one but I’ve seen those before and I was just like “How is this on the clear net?”
Yeah you’ll sometimes get redirected to that when surfing regular porn links.
The names of the links are fake. There is no CSAM on them.
searching for regular porn of a certain nationality brought up so much cp videos on regular google that i was shocked
No it doesn't. If it was as straightforward as googling "[nationality] porn", google would have removed it already.
it literally did like 5 years ago when i did it. either that or a fetish for people who genuinely look to be under the age of 16
Occam's razor
awful either way 🤷♀️
It's part of our culture.
I found a similar website on the clear web about eight or so years ago, (if you can associate it with a phrase/sentence or an acronym were probably thinking about the same one.)
My friends and I reported it to the FBI cyber tip line and it took a year or so for anything to be done about it, and then when it was taken down within months it was back up again with the same name under a different URL
I eventually came to the conclusion that it was a Honeypot operation ran by the police to gather information on the people who post there, but that might be wishful thinking.
You may know this but there is a podcast called Hunting Warhead that discusses the intricacies and ethics of these kinds of sting operations, which actually aren’t legal everywhere (a lot of them operate out of Australia iirc). Big CW for the podcast, it’s not an easy listen, but I did learn a lot and hearing it made me feel more determined to keep reporting.
Yeah!, very familiar with it as an Australian, given that it was one of our state governments running the website that the podcast is based around, absolutely morbid, disgusting and fascinating listen.
Edit:
Theyre not hosted here, the guy happened to be Australian but was doing most of his abuse and business in another country, though it was our Queensland police who took over the website and ran it for a year.
I don't think this kind of thing is particularly common. There are barely any cases and they are all very limited in the time a government operated them, and seem to be almost exclusively dark web sites. I could certainly be wrong, but I don't understand the utility of a government furthering the spread of this stuff for a few arrests.
More likely is that these kind of sites are trying to make money off of sickos, as they have ads and links to pay them for "premium". They are likely sometimes copied when they get shutdown (simliar to how a certain anon site just keeps getting awful copies), and their formats are likely copied by copycats in countries with looser laws.
The shitty thing is even if one gets taken down, 10 of them are gonna pop-up like mushrooms. Need to think of a permanent solution
I also find a site have cp porn what i do and i don't want want get in trouble
submit anonymously to IWF, the link is in the pinned comment.
I reported a website the other day and I reported it to my local cyber security police force.
Report to FBI, Europol, etc. Whatever the agency is where you live.
It's quite disturbing how these websites have grown and how people just make jokes about anything that exploits kids and ignores the problem. Matter of fact, it has gotten so bad that theres people openly saying they're a P3do like it's someone coming out as Gay, and they still have other pedos supporting them.
Umm, reddit and bluesky are full of csam. Weird how it's always the networks where the woke people meet.
X is supposedly crawling with it as well, you aren't going to find any common factor here but the obvious: these are popular social media sites.
I don’t know what that guy is saying with that quote anyway
Reddit is far from woke lmao
