People
The Internet Takedown Index records the people publicly named in the takedowns it documents: defendants, alleged operators, administrators, developers, affiliates, and facilitators.
49 named people across 27 takedowns
A person's presence in this database does not imply guilt. Status language follows the public record and keeps allegations, charges, arrests, convictions, and sentences apart.

Not everyone in a takedown is named
Authorities often report a number of arrests without publishing names. Those counts stay on the takedown record, so this list is smaller than the reported arrest totals.
A role is an allegation until a court says otherwise
The role column repeats the role stated in the public record. Where no conviction is recorded, it remains an accusation and nothing more.
Reviewed to August 20, 2026
Where a case left the public record before it concluded, the last recorded action is the last one published. A missing outcome is not an outcome.
