Arachnid: Hunting the web’s darkest secrets - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Tragic and disturbing and hopeful and impressive all at the same time. Some parts can be difficult to process and the horror the victims endured is unimaginable, but everybody who can should listen. Big Tech and our government has an incredible piece of technology at their fingertips - technology that could save countless lives and they have intentionally ignored it for the sake of profit and comfort. It’s abhorrent. Thank you for producing this podcast. And thank you to all the people doing the work out there to help victims.

I applaud the team at TVO for giving this issue a platform. I learned so much I didn’t know and shared this podcast with all my friends and family too. These victims deserve peace and this podcast is aiding in making that a reality. Now that I know what things to look out for and also where to put my support, I feel confident that I can somehow contribute to this fight thanks to this podcast.

I am a better more informed person after listening to this podcast. I am a teacher. I have had first hand experience working with children who have been abused. It affects every aspect of child’s life even their ability to learn. I am appalled at the tech companies’ behaviors concerning the exploitation of children. Choosing profits over children’s’ safety is nothing new but in business ie, tobacco and vape companies. By letting this continue these companies guarantee a secure revenue stream. It’s disgusting. Thank you for bringing a light to these greedy uncaring companies and the disgusting perpetrators of these insidious crimes.

It’s hard to listen to the stories of these adults who were abused and exploited as children, but it’s desperately important that people hear it. Nothing is ever going to change unless people demand change. Please take time to hear this podcast and be aware of this massive global issue.
