    Tldr; Asshole used encrypted everything and Tor to create and spread csam. Government isn’t disclosing how they caught him

    It seems irrelevant whether this person is using encrypted channels if they failed to maintain anonymity. If they distributed material and leaked any identifying info (e.g. IP address), then it would be trivial for investigators or CIs to track them down.

      It sounds like he created material, not only AI but actual children then distributed it. The tools to track down the creators of CASM is only getting better.

      A single legal image of any of those children posted to social media is going to allow algorithms to make the match and its routine detective work from there.

      It only takes one child to talk. No amount of encryption is going to stop that.

    This whole thing is horrifying, but the last paragraph is especially disturbing:

    Since Herrera himself has a young daughter, and since there are “six children living within his fourplex alone” on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, the government has asked a judge not to release Herrera on bail before his trial.

    Even more disturbing is it said he was also producing content.

        People like me, who are against the death penalty on principle. (or even more “creative” forms of punishment people like to come up with in these cases).
        No, prison is where this guy belongs. For as long as necessary.

          Death penalty is fine if it didn’t get abused bit it will be abused. We know this. So yes i agree with you.

          But also if cop killed him and there is adequate evidence that athat person actually hurt a child. I just see self defense and if I was no a jury, I would not convict and I hate police lol

          Society lost this basic function for self cleansing. At some point these people just need to be disposed off.

          Also, state will execute for treason. I look at severe child abuse as a higher order, ie social treason. FAFO

        A lot of it out there and a lot of it was enabled by limp dick society. Looking at you cathlics… Fucking disgusting that you allowed your clergy to do this and even cover up for it. And when people spoke up you ostricized them. Pathetic social behavior.

        Imagine when your clown social group is more important than children being raped.

            Islam was founded by a pedobear and Muslim in straight up denial about what is going with child abuse while rich Arabs are traffic humans for funzies.

            But that’s over there. Cathlic church is doing this within the US. All of major urban areas have extensive allegations of child abuse for decades. Nothing has been done.

            Limp dick boomers would rather act like it never happens. Prosecutors and police are limp dick and too busy killing taxpayers lol

            Happens in the other religions wasn’t ghandi raping 13 year old girls and everybody was like no big deal, big man earned his due with “peace” 🤡

            Pathetic daddy worship enables this behavior

    Does this go to show that authorities needing backdoors to everything in order to do their jobs is actually kind of nonsense?

        Heard about a guy doing insane opsec when selling on the dark web (darknet diaries podcast).
        In the end he got busted because a trusted member if his operation got lazy and ignored his rules

        Edit: This guy was essentially
        Leeching internet via a directional antenna from a neighbour that was significantly away
        Not allowing any visitor in with a cell. You had to keep it outside
        All drug related actions are done in a cleaned down room.
        Tripple sealing dark marketplace orders, wiping everything down with corrosive fluids to destroy any sort of dna material
        Not going to the same post office in (I believe 6 months) and only sending of 3-6 shipments at once

        I hope I got it correctly. Please go listen to the episode: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/132/

          That’s sounds mostly correct.

          His relative also admitted their involvement and flipped on him which destroyed the narrow avenue he had to throw out the original evidence for the warrant.

          Of course we only ever hear the cases of people who get caught. If he relative hadn’t gotten lazy he may never have been caught.

          The lesson there is not to involve other people.

    It’s all publicly approved backdoors until feds are planting child abuse imagery on your PC because you spoke out against them in the wring venue. No one will believe you when they do. Currently you can’t trust articles like this, maybe the dude was actually hurting kids. Maybe the feds just needed a win. You won’t ever know, and neither will I so long as the same ideology is in control. Now watch them turn every single kid in the pics into a sex offender because the fed believes if you were raped, you WILL rape someone in the future. But by all means keep enjoying their rage bait.

    a heavy vehicle driver for the US military

    That’s an odd way to describe a soldier. It’s not really surprising when violent people do violent things.
