The group has also posted a large amount of data about members of these sites and posted them on pastebin Calling it #OpPedoChat, the video explains: "Recently it has come to our attention that there has been a surge of websites dedicated to paedophiles for chat and picture sharing.These paedophiles openly advocate concepts like "man-boy love", stating that 8-year-old boys enjoy it and prey on their attention. This is not limited to boys, boards for little girls exist and operate with impunity.It is frequently traded and even innocent pictures of random children (at the beach, on a playground, in their homes) are publicly fantasised about."The operation started on 7 July and, despite some sites have already returned, 85 are still down. The posted information includes the details of hundreds of pedophiles (both users and administrators of these websites) as well as emails between them.
