A new report compiled by investigators at Lady Freethinker, Scrolling Through Cruelty, reveals thousands of disturbing videos circulating openly on major social media platforms, where animals are tortured and killed, forced into staged rescues, pitted against one another in fights, and even sexually abused - all for views, clicks, and profit. Collectively, these videos racked up an astonishing 1 billion+ views. The most common animal cruelty content documented was monkey torture, animal fighting, and fake rescues, where animals are deliberately put into dangerous situations so perpetrators can film dramatic "rescues."
The FBI, working with Australia's Federal Police (AFP), created that alternative in the form of a service called "AN0M" that ran on modified smartphones and required users to pay subscription fees for a secure communications service. AN0M also included a backdoor that allowed authorities to access messages sent using the service. Crims didn't know about the backdoor and merrily used AN0M to discuss many evil deeds.
