What's up with all the pedo instances? Why are they creating instances in an open web? Are they dumb or something? It sounds to me that just registering the domain names of some of those could be considered a crime, nevermind openly inviting and hosting CSAM.

Honeypots and also to discourage people from engaging to corral people into big tech where surveillance is #1

It's not a crime as long as they don't post the actual content, I guess

I am not a lawyer, but I imagine there's no way I could register, or get away with if I do register something like "molester daycare" or "pedo toothbrush for kids"... Oh wait, apparently the last one is actually a thing. Well then I guess it's not, but man that's an unfortunate brand name
