  • 12:34Dark web wikis around 2015-2016 aggregated links for drugs, weapons, and other illegal goods in centralized directories.
  • 13:36While infiltrating far-right groups on the deep web, Tim and friends discovered a crossover between neo-Nazi forums and child sexual abuse material.
  • 14:39Neo-Nazi forum members would mix discussions of arming for race war with explicit child abuse content, sometimes posted casually by other users.
  • 15:19Tim asks whether any forum members objected to the child abuse material, drawing a line between their political extremism and that content.
  • 15:40Right-wing forums with fascist imagery focused on mythical race war and survivalism, while the crossover forums had a completely different layout and tone.
  • 16:46Tim contrasts this with leftist forums where violent misogyny got users banned or called out immediately.
  • 17:45Tim argues the right's tolerance for extreme content, including abuse material, is why recruitment succeeds where the left purges members for insensitive language.
