The answer

A Muslim is not advised to track down corrupt websites to report and block them, due to the dangers and temptations involved, including: the temptation of forbidden women, disobeying the command to stay away from places of temptation, disobeying the command to lower one's gaze, looking at private parts, repeatedly looking at forbidden things, committing the zina (adultery) of the eyes, wasting time, the danger of the heart becoming attached to forbidden things, falling into what is prohibited, the death of sensitivity, and exposing oneself to accusation. Therefore, it is more appropriate to beware of these sites, and there are technical methods and specialized committees to block them without the need to track them.
