So… to fight against predators you… partner with the FBI to… stop people who make groups to… prevent predatory behaviour?
On fucking Roblox of all places, one of the most predatory games against kids. Sometimes the jokes just write themselves.
The entire headline is so wild. I don’t know what to think.
People were pushing back on predators on their own, so the FBI was brought in to stop people from pushing back on predators.
Vigilantes are not the solution.
If their actions result in the company and law enforcement actually doing something about the predators, then the vigilantes were part of the solution.
I mean the actions of predators also eventually resulted in the company and law enforcement actually doing something about the predators.
Being a part of the problem isn’t a solution.
If you look into how these guys operate, it’s not something you would support. For example they often conduct “undercover” stings where they pretend to be a child and exchange sexual message with other users in hopes of finding a predator.
In reality it’s some guys sexting random Roblox users (who are, statistically, primarily children). It looks exactly like a predator’s behavior, even if you believe their good intentions.
Law enforcement has procedures, some form of oversight of their operations and their interactions are documented.
