The date each country joined the VGT and a link to their agreement(s)
Law enforcement agencies in each country that are participants of the VGT
the name of the task force or group within those agencies. Example U.S. FBI and U.S. HSI are part of the CEOU.
Yearly budget for each country as their contribution to the VGT and the total estimate budget of resources contributed to the VGT each year
Operations that have been conducted or fallen under the partnership of the VGT
Questions of law that have arisen as a result of the VGT, such as motions of law or court appeals (example is the pleas from the NCA to their judiciary in a TEI warrant to grant the warrant. Most of the affidavit application for the warrant was desperation for the warrant to be granted, not because it was valuable to stopping crime, or on it's merits, but because if the warrant wasn't granted, the NCA would face civil and criminal prosecution for their unwarranted actions they had already participated in with France as part of the ENCRO CHAT take down.
Number of warrants served as part of the VGT
Number of arrests that occurred as a result of the warrants
Number of convictions that resulted from those arrests
Editors and users that obtain links, press releases, court documents or Freedom of information responses in their respective countries should link the references to the page and attempt to back fill this missing information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jiwhit01 (talk • contribs) 17:57, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Finding sources for the various countries entry into the VGT
South Korea - the following citation includes reference to an Memorandum of understanding between the U.S. FBI and South Korean federal police, this may be their entry, but a deeper dive into the translation or other government documents would be necessary.[1]
Censorship of cartoons and persecution or artistic photos might also fall within the scope of the Virtual Taskforce work, this article should be included in the fascism section since this authoritarian group limits free speech.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Curacao2 (talk • contribs) 00:27, 18 March 2011

Please consider removing references to "child pornography" and instead using the term "child exploitation" or "indecent images of children" for such [electronic] material. Certainly in the UK, "child porn" etc. is not considered appropriate since not all pornography is illegal.

The importance of the VGT is difficult to understate as it tests each nations' laws as well as represents one of the largest law enforcement machines ever created in human history. As an example, due to the secrecy of each government and the ability to pass off different parts of a joint operation to different government with different laws regarding privacy, right to be free from search and seizure etc. This task force is able to circumvent the laws of many countries by utilizing quid pro quo organizational architectures to search, seize and prosecute defendants all over the world.
Example 1: Country A is able to get a warrant to deanonymize or hack into a target user or server on the TOR network that country B is not able to obtain due to their laws. Country A performs the op, and then provides a Tip to Country B, that would otherwise be illegal in Country B. Country B uses the tip to prosecute, or obtain an additional warranted search in their own country to prosecute the suspect. Country A and Country B can routinely do this for each other, or in a round robin within the VGT to provide otherwise unobtainable searches.
Example 2: budgets, Different countries are willing to expend different types of resources or only resources to a certain limit. As has been seen with the KAX17 ongoing TOR attack, only a government (or combination of goverments) with the ability to spend $10 million a year could form such an attack network to infiltrate and perform fingerprinting and end-to-end attacks on the TOR network. The VGT meets the specifications that Nusenu described would be necessary to launch such an expansive and expensive type of attack on the TOR network.eximo (talk) 17:49, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
