From MSNBC, "It (the site) attempted to operate as a 'discussion-only' forum where people could share their sexual interest in young boys without committing any specific offenses, thus operating 'below the radar' of police attention. Having made contact on the site, some members would move to more private channels, such as email, to exchange and share illegal images and films of children being abused.

The statement said Europol analysts had cracked the security features of a key computer server at the center of the network which uncovered the identities of suspected child sex offenders. And, after his arrest, the forum's Dutch administrator helped police break encryption measures that shielded users' identities, allowing police to begin their covert investigations.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement( ICE ) has also issued a news release."

    No, that is a spurious argument and you should know it because you didn't bother to explain why. Declarations without support are not valid arguments, if anything they are an admission that you can't actually support your claim.

    See how I just provided you with an example of how to do it correctly?
    Do what I say and what I do! Here's another one:

    > Notice he didnt really use TOR? For good reason. His data was better handed off to some reporter.

    Forest and trees man! Snowden was an expert in the technology, the tor browser bundle is designed for people who are not experts. Expecting all whistleblowers have that kind of technical expertise is to make modern whistleblowing impractical.
