If you're wondering why a web host, who could potentially be immune to prosecution under CDA 230, was charged with the distribution of child pornography, according to the warrant [1] an admin of one of the pedo sites claimed that Freedom Hosting had "full control" over the websites (well, he had root access to the servers, but so did OVH), was patching the websites, that the pedo site hosting was free, and that he assumed that Marques covered the hosting costs as a service to the "pedo community". Technically the prosecutors might have had to prove that he knew what the sites were hosting, but he did plead guilty. Hopefully the actual operators of the pedo sites are found and prosecuted, and not just this sysadmin.
