   The article describes many many arrests made by producing or
   compromising fake insecure dark web systems.
   I wonder if there is news on the freeing of victims of human
   trafficking somewhere.
   The below quotes relate to possible differing goals between law
   enforcement and encrypted web3 apps.

   However, beyond arresting bad guys, the point of these operations was
   to make criminals feel that there is no safe platform or a method of
   communication for them, hopefully dissuading them from ever partaking
   in illicit activities in the first place.
   The move was a very smart one by the FBI as the organization
   essentially managed to break encryption without having to actually
   break encryption. From now on, criminals will be forced to wonder
   whether an [1]encrypted chat service is actually legit or just another
   FBI honeypot. And that should have all of us sleeping a little sounder
   at night.
