I keep seeing videos lately of grown men posing as children online and baiting individuals to public spaces and either assaulting them or recording/exposing them for content. While I don’t mind the idea of a predator being outed, the idea of grown adults posing as children online seems unsavory to me. Especially if their end goal isn’t to protect children, and is to provide content for views.

Obviously, being a child predator is wildly immoral and illegal and their actions are not what’s being debated.

    A lot of the people they bait do not seem as if they are cognitively competent

      THAT is different. Bullying a mentally disabled person is the wrong thing.

      The caregiver for the person should be involved in their online activities if they are vulnerable. They should also be taught about being safe online.
