That's a 58 page legal ruling. It sure would benefit from some legal eagle summarizing it. I didn't read the whole document, and even if I did I wouldn't necessarily understand all of it.
Apparently it involves someone's use of a Tor website called Playpen, which hosted a good deal of child pornography.
One really really disturbing thing to me is that the Feds raided a house in Florida and seized control of the site, and then:
The FBI did not immediately shut Playpen down; instead, it assumed control of Playpen, continuing to operate it from a government facility
...
Defendant argues a substantial increase in the usage of Playpen occurred after the Government took it over. While the Government concedes that there was some increase, it disputes the unsupported figures in Defendant's briefs.
That just seems so wrong. The Feds seized the website and then continued to serve child pornography from it for at least several weeks.
