An increasing number of paedophiles are making use of the so called ‘darknet’, a part of internet that is hidden. It is the opposite of the everyday internet called clearnet. Through special software that makes use of a large amount of different IP-addresses, it is possible to be anonymously online.
The Swiss background reportage program SRF Rundschau is producing 15 minute reportage about darknet and the activities of paedophiles on this part of the internet where people can stay totally anonymous. Insiders compare darknet with a huge ocean, and the fight against criminals making use of it, with a tiny boat.
For the reportage an interview with Troels Oerting, the head of the Europol Cybercrime Centre, is required. In the end Europol also gives permission to film in the hyper modern Europol cybercrime centre’s research lab.
For this background reportage Featurez did research, booked a camera crew, did the planning, the interviews and direction and accompanied the satellite feed.
