As I’ve mentioned in my analysis here: Review of Shut Up and Dance - #10 by Giacobbe vigilantes aren’t necessarily good people. So-called “pedo hunters” will use CSAM as bait, making them also guilty of a CSA crime. The law doesn’t care what your reason is. You. Do. NOT. Get. To. Possess. CSAM! For ANY reason!!!
Remember when the Feds, instead of shutting down a CSAM site, they took it over and continued to operate it? Facilitating the very trade of illicit materials you claim to fight against, in the name of the “greater good”. Gimme a break…
