Europol and partner agencies flagged 4,340 URLs for removal as part of Referral Action Days under Project Compass after identifying "The Com," a loosely organized online network recruiting and grooming minors and promoting cyber-enabled and real-world violent crimes (swatting, doxxing, extortion, arson, and livestreamed attacks); the flagged content included violent media, manuals for attacks, grooming instructions, and material depicting self-harm and abuse, prompting cross-border law enforcement disruption efforts.
