And so we have to just take their word for it that it exists. Supposedly the government allows the National Center For Missing and Exploited Children (http://www.missingkids.com) to maintain a huge collection of CP. It's supposed to be the largest such collection on the planet. They have all sorts of BS excuses for allowing this, but most probably it's so they have a supply of CP to use in their trolling and sting operations. That way if there's ever someone they want to put away for a few years in prison, all they have to do is put some of their CP on the target's computer. There's no recovering from a charge of possession of CP.
How many of you have heard of a hidden service in TOR like the Silk Road? It’s really not some mystical location on the dark side of the Internet, or darknet. While it does sound a bit fantastic, a hidden service in TOR is just a server that is connected to TOR network and is only accessible by a uniquely generated domain name (.onion). The idea is that there aren’t supposed to be any IP’s associated with the server once it’s set up on TOR – making it untraceable. Of course there are ways of exploiting a vulnerability that will reveal that address, but I won’t go into that.
TOR Browser Bundle is a browser configured to use the TOR relay network, which anonymizes your connection through a distributed set of relays to prevent someone from learning your physical location and allows you to use sites which are blocked. People use it to prevent websites from tracking their IP, or people in China use it get around the Great Firewall, for example.
