Some amazing facts ...Some 12 million domains were registered last year with some 32,000 domains suspended for illegal activity. 

From 2018/19, 32,995 websites have been suspended with an estimated criminal property value of £9m.

1,000 articles were seized in the Isle of Wight and 10,000 articles in Camden. The figures are mind boggling and I urge you to read them!
