Devil's advocate, but couldn't this potentially interfere with the people's due process? I mean isn't he essentially doxxing people he believes are pedophiles before they have their day in court? I understand that he would have contacted them online and they may have turned up to meet what they thought were underage people, but that's not my point. I know voat is staunchly anti-pedo, but I'm not defending pedophiles, I'm defending due process. If we let it erode for those we despise, then it simultaneously erodes for those we like as well, even though we may not witness it right away.
doxing would be publishing the pedofags' information online. all this guy is doing is just saying "hey police, i found a degenerate you need to lock up"

The article states that he did publish the info.

The pedo was already a registered sex offender. Identity was already public.

In that case it's okay, but that wasn't really my point.
