Their data encryption were so advanced that the police have spent years accessing parts of the enormous amount of data.
"In the home, the police found what is now considered the largest history of Norwegian history of abuse material.
It consists of millions of pictures and videos of abuse of young boys.
The offense material lies on heavily encrypted data storage devices that the police are unable to open.
For several years, the police have tried to unlock the encrypted giant fuss. But after five years, the police have still not managed to open hundreds of terabytes on the accused hard drive. The police say they have only managed to analyze 20 percent of the extensive seizure.
The amount of data seized is so great that the police describe it as a library of all the material of abuse found on the dark web.
- The machines are so big and there are so many materials on them that many of our systems crashed. We have had to invest several million in equipment to be able to review the material on these units"

Forgive me for my ignorance, but does it really take a few million in hardware to analyze a few hundred terabytes of data? I'm not implying it isn't true or anything like that, but this part interested me. Beyond that though, hopefully they can crack it.

Yes. As great as computers are, they are only as good as the programs running on them. Unfortunately, most of the government's coding is very shitty compared to coding in the private sector. Software extremely lacking in efficiency, so they make up for it with crazy hardware. Strong encryption requires a massive amount of work (by computers) to crack. Not to mention if this is as big as claimed the pedos would likely have checkpoints in place to ensure anyone trying to crack it would hit roadblocks. It will be cracked eventually, but we need more people in tech to switch sides, and realize the evil we are working against.

Makes sense, thanks for explaining. Not sure where I heard this from, but apparently the government has historically had a hard time bringing in talent, since these people could make much more in the private sector vs being a government employee. This is a good time to re-evaluate this, especially at the base of this exponential curve for technology we're riding....

Also the government tests for weed, and A LOT of "computer scientists" smoke weed. I don't agree with weed use anymore, used to be an addict of it myself. I think it is time the government put aside their hate for weed, and let some of these geniuses do work to make the world a better place.

Agreed 100%. I too loved it in my 20's. I think it can be a great tool for good, especially using the Sativas (or indica for medical reasons but that is another issue), and far too many people abuse it and use it for the wrong reasons.
