- kbenson 6y agoI don't know if it's how it played out, but it's easy to see how increased scrutiny could have lead to the illegal content being highlighted and them getting dropped because it was then reported (possibly many times by many parties that wanted the site shut down for other reasons). In that case, they still would have been taken down because of the illegal content, even if at an (extremely simplistic) surface level the timing seems to indicate otherwise.
