In a sweeping takedown of some of the darkest corners of the internet, the Department of Justice has delivered long-overdue justice to predators exploiting society’s most vulnerable. Operation Grayskull, a joint federal effort involving the FBI, dismantled four horrific dark web networks trafficking in child sexual abuse content. Among the convicted is Gregory Malcolm Good of Silver Springs, Nevada, sentenced to over 25 years in prison. His name joins a list of 18 individuals convicted across the United States in connection to these sites.

These weren’t just hidden forums. According to officials, they contained grotesque categories targeting infants and toddlers, with graphic instructions for evading law enforcement. This is not free speech—it is the absolute decay of morality hiding behind keyboards. And yet, it took a global operation and years of work to take them down. How many victims suffered while these predators operated unchecked?

Gregory Good pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to advertise and distribute child pornography. His sentence includes restitution of $93,500. Another perpetrator, William Spearman of Alabama, was sentenced to life in prison for running a child exploitation enterprise. Others from across the nation, including Florida, Washington, and Texas, received similarly lengthy sentences, with restitution orders often exceeding six figures. The crimes they committed are beyond comprehension, but the message is clear—this behavior will not be tolerated.

While left-leaning voices occasionally warn against aggressive digital surveillance and criticize law enforcement overreach, this case underscores why strong, decisive action is necessary. Online anonymity must never be a shield for abuse. These convictions prove that when agencies are allowed to do their jobs, real results follow.

International arrests in the UK, Netherlands, and several other countries further demonstrate the scale and depravity of the crimes committed. The real question now: what is being done to prevent the next generation of these networks from rising?

America must prioritize protecting children, even if it means tightening the reins on unregulated online spaces. Freedom is sacred, but so is responsibility. The rule of law, strong enforcement, and cultural accountability are the only things that separate a society from collapse.
