In Dublin, on Fenian Street, there's a factory that makes child sex abuse material.
You can pay it money, as a subscription, and that's one of the services it offers. This doesn't happen by mistake or because you've tricked or hacked the system.

There's the rub 🎯
Because Fine Gael were very, very able to make glossy videos about protecting kids online before - and the Government it belongs to has spent the week flustered not able to say exactly why it's not doing anything about real world harms happening on a site with a European HQ here.
