ACLU Says FBI Ran Child Porn Sites to Install Malware

The FBI reportedly ran 23 child pornography websites to try to ensnare users, according to an affidavit from the agency acquired by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). It was previously reported that the FBI had seized and maintained the child pornography website Playpen to install malware on its users’ computers. The malware was intended to help law enforcement gain users' identities and apprehend them.
