Poorly regulated pedo hunters that can end up ruining genuine law enforcement efforts at catching pedos aren't good.
Actually Leo don't do shit about pedophelia, because it usually involves powerful people, usually ends up being a pastor, priest of the church or one of their own, or a politician. Some sites online hide in plain site, with a format similar to r/pics if you dig deeper there's significant talk about commiting pedophelia acts, beastiality. And the sites often get taken down for other reasons besides thst
The bigger problem is that genuine law enforcement efforts are discouraged from actually catching pedophiles because they often end up being constituents of those same cops, either politically or socially. It's either a priest, a super PAC donor, or another cop on the other end of that investigation.
