Free6.com let the feds in the admin to spy live on chats? - GoFuckYourself.com

Quote:

DECEMBER 8--The operators of a notorious pornography web site granted federal agents administrative access to the site, giving investigators the ability to monitor traffic and public and private chats in an effort to identify users trading ?a significant amount of child pornography,? records show.

Beginning in October 2008, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents secretly monitored activity on Free6.com from inside the porn site, which launched in 1998. That covert operation ended earlier this year when Los Angeles-based ICE agents discovered that the web site ?had been removed from the Internet by the company responsible for hosting the website.?

To determine what happened to the site, agents assigned to the Child Exploitation Investigations Group (CEIG) subsequently contacted a Free6.com administrator with whom they had previously worked. It was then that they learned the man was ?incarcerated in the Philippines and facing charges for running an adult pornography business contrary to Filipino law.?

I haven't been here in few days, but this seems like interesting news.

Not only were they in a site admin watching chats and seeing what files were being passed, but the owner was arrested. I remember seeing a post a couple weeks ago they relaunched with a new domain... maybe this is why?

That can add some value to the chat session...

That's what I was thinking when I ref'd the old thread:

"under new management" indeed lol

Agent 488 · 12-09-2010, 10:13 AM

can anyone start a free6 site? at least until the owners are out of jail?

pornguy · 12-09-2010, 10:14 AM

When the feds knock on your door and say you are on your way to jail for 20 years for CP you will give them the same access.

apparently they did this before the owners went to jail, 2 years before, and the feds were all confused when the site went down which is what the story says.

Agent 488 · 12-09-2010, 10:26 AM

wonder if this was part of operation sanctuary which just rounded up a big network of cp traders and producers?

Shap · 12-09-2010, 10:30 AM

Man the whole free6 story is nuts. Anybody know how long he's in jail for?

Phoenix · 12-09-2010, 10:50 AM

i dont see a problem with giving them access....but to your whole site?
better to just feed them info constantly on anyone involved with that shit
or make them an admin that gives them access to just the users who are identified as trading illegal shit like that

DWB · 12-09-2010, 10:52 AM

Welp, I'm fucked.

rowan · 12-09-2010, 03:32 PM

I read this too. Can't imagine it's going to be good for our industry, particularly if it gets picked up by other sites.

1. It's associating CP with what was otherwise (apparently?) a legitimate and legal adult site, furthering the stereotype that we're all dirty CP producers.

2. It could cause general distrust of consumers to increase, eg someone middle aged who likes the "barely legal" niche, but still feels they might be doing something wrong, and that they might be being watched. Big Brother is accumulating little bits of information to add to your dossier.

3. Why was it a "notorious pornography website"? *rolls eyes*

HowlingWulf · 12-09-2010, 03:39 PM

Those chat rooms were full of CP. Once and done. Ugh.

SZNY · 12-09-2010, 05:25 PM

I met the owners 5-6 yrs ago in Malmo and we partied hard there. From what I know is that they ran a big webcam studio what is illegal in the Philippines and are convicted for this.

Besides Free6, the webcam studios they also had smsmovies.

They were quite big in the days

200 is peanuts for the traffic it had.

Rumours again, its dangerous to have a rumour about cp, we all know about that.
NewFree6 is with new owners, but with old Free6's database.

From rumours to this.. gfy gleem.

Damage a business with rumours is bad, and you know it, what is your problem ?

I worked for Free6.com as their tech guy for 8-10 years, so what do I know ..

Rumours are always rumours - if you rather belive that than the truth.

I'm a PM away guys, so GFY

Hint: Newpaper says the hole site - wrong, they only had access to chat.free6.com - again what do I know ..

Hint 2: never ask the guy who can give you the truth, make it up instead - it sounds better that way - until YOU get caught

Forgot to quote you ;)

As one of the bosses said to me: It's fucking Monday all week long for you - for me it's saturday all week long, so yes, they did party hard - a lot.

You are absolut right! You got the truth

What the flying hell are you talking about, I put the link here because it was reported in mainstream, it was shocking that the previous owners let the feds spy on the surfers and get full admin access,

The part that seem to upset you was when I said "new management indeed" which I was ref'ing the fact the old ones are in jail! How is this a rumor, or anything else? Are there in fact new management? What have I said here that is a "rumor"?

Traxman · 12-10-2010, 10:45 AM

Check your private mail gleem, facts strighten out, now you know you can't trust the newspaper.

Again, you might get your fact stright first.

Free6.com was a Swedish site, but in the end hosted in usa.

I'm not speading rumours, just strighten out things.

Gleem did point on the new thread regarding NewFree6.com and I was very clear
that the old owners have nothing to do with the new site, nor that we have anything
to do with free6.com, except that I did work_ for them.

Tell me in what way the community will benefit from knowing, or for that sake, your curious about it.
