Off topic, but it just gets me.

So I was cruising 4chan looking for some new off the wall pics or gifs. (always have some good ones) when I saw a mention of a place called 12chan. I made the mistake of looking it up.

Let me preface by saying I support freedom of speech and net neutrality, but.. I can’t support this.

http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/12chan (wiki-esk explanation of 12chan , not official!)

12 chan seems to be a channel devoted almost entirely to pedophiles. How it continues to operate without issue, is somewhat of a mystery to me.  While channels such as this exist, the exploitation of children will continue.  (if need exists, someone will supply)

The current IP reports assigned to the Netherlands (Amsterdam to be precise), and the dns name is registered to a man in Australia.

I just don’t get it.  I can understand the want for some to look at adult images/videos on the web. But what is it about the illegal and somewhat sickening images of the 12chan and boards like it?

What can be done?  Are we truly helpless in this internet world?
