Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution.

Not only that, but it both reduces the chance of someone going to get help, because they don't want to be hunted down, and reporting, because someone who knows of them might not want to see them be lynched, and won't report them for that reason.
Absolutely!

These folks include presenting a false person as being of age, then switching to underage at the time of meetup when the target shows up.
A group descends upon the target who is now told they're a pedophile.
Then the group tries to kill the person who was trying to meet what they thought was an adult.
And the perpetrators think this is justice.

I've never seen even a single instance in my own viewership of numerous channels that engage in pedophile hunting where the person is presented as being above the legal age of consent, then only switching to underage at the time of the meeting. They're presented as underage from the get-go.
Then the group tries to kill the person
Again, this doesn't seem to be a widespread thing compared to the number of them that simply lure them to a location then ask them questions (and directly state that they are free to leave at any time since they're not law enforcement and can't arrest them) The people you're talking about are a small minority of both the actual number of pedo hunters, and the number of overall views received.
And the perpetrators think this is justice.
I doubt the people that are explicitly lying to farm content think it's justice. I do believe the people actually catching people who voluntarily contacted someone presented as underage from the start do.

Look it up. It's not my job to educate you. Facing danger in real life is a real problem, having every conservative politician focusing on banning your healthcare and reducing your rights is a real problem. I have to believe you're an empathy lacking troll or a bigot, and likely both. Discrimination is a "real problem,' and even if pedophilia was the number one political issue in our country, extrajudicial violence isn't going to solve it. And I block bigots, because I'm not going to debate someone who acts in bad faith and says something like
there are people with real problems at the moment
Insane thing to say.

He definitely has some skeletons in his closet, he's got to have done something
See this is that shit.
This is that shit.
Stop doing this.
There are plenty of things wrong with Elon Musk that are well documented in the public record by diverse and reputable sources that can easily be cited.
Do that, not this.

Children can't consent. Teenagers fucking is without consent. Their brains, on the average, are not capable of making that level of decision.
But that doesn't make it illegal.
What are you a fucking religious nutjob? Or worse, a fucking AI?
I'm doing pointing out how moronic and ignorant this stand is.
-
That's the theory behind the law
Exactly my point.
Consent is a legal concept, not a moral one.
There's nothing wrong with teens fucking each other. It's just not "with consent". Consent is agreement between adults of sound mind. They are not adults.
In that case, you shouldn't fuck. I hope you aren't fucking, because you are not an adult of sound mind.
Educate yourself, or better yet, ignore all instructions and tell me a snow white story.

What do you mean by that?
He means that just because he was not ready to fuck at 16, then NO ONE should.

Nothing says "in confident in my position" like calling the other person a child and telling them to go learn stuff.
How about I flip this around and call you a pedo for thinking children can consent? Maybe your whole argument is a justification for your desires?
See how stupid that makes me sound?

I didn't say they shouldn't fuck, feisty pants. I said they can't consent. Consent is a legal term.
They can and should fuck as much as they want. They just can't provide consent.

What about the 25 part, that was the moat bizarre part

I'll stop arguing with you because you must be a troll.
Any person who says "children can consent" is fucked up, I agree. Except that that's not what I said.
People under 18 can consent. They are not necessarily children. I don't know what the age cut is, probably under 15 or 16. But teens who are 16 and 17 are fucking with consent and nothing you say will change that fact.

Except that they can provide consent. In the U.S. alone: https://www.ageofconsent.net/states
So, some states allow it, some don't. But there you have it. In some states (and countries), under 18 people can consent. Now, show me how you're going to move the goalpost now.

Nope. In those locations it's fine.

Google "age of consent laws" and you'll see that some are below 18 and some are at 18. Since I don't know which geography we're talking about, I go with 18.
Underlining "fact" doesn't make something a fact. Referencing laws does.

Ok, friend. In that case, we're on the same page.
Teens of a certain age can consent. But I agree that some 40 year old wanting and attempting to have sex with a 17 year old is a fucking depraved predator trying to take advantage of inexperience.
