Motherless Returns Online as Dutch Prosecutors Target Abusers, Not Host

Overview

• The site came back online after an OM order in early May forced the host to hand over server disks, which took the platform offline that evening.
• The OM says its case centers on identifying the men who assaulted unconscious women and those who secretly filmed them, not on prosecuting the provider.
• Motherless says it changed its moderation and added new reporting tools to remove illegal posts faster as it restored access.
• The platform remains on servers at NForce in Steenbergen, and the company says it only supplies infrastructure and does not control the content.
• The site hosted tens of thousands of non‑consensual videos, Offlimits logged thousands of complaints this year including possible child sexual abuse material, and reporting by NOS, Nieuwsuur and CNN helped trigger the investigation.
