Cafe Forum Archive Fixed: The Cannibal

The Cannibal Cafe was a late-1990s online forum for vorarephilia that gained international infamy when Armin Meiwes used it to find a willing victim for a real-world act of cannibalism. Though defunct, the archive exists in research circles, serving as a study on extreme paraphilias and a historical example of the unregulated early internet. The case served as a turning point in debates over platform liability and the responsibility of moderators for user actions. More information can be found in forensic psychological studies and archival internet history resources.
