Is it wrong to blackmail a pedophile? - Roberto Scorpius Malfoy - Jul 13, 2020
So this is an interesting topic, I would like to hear peoples opinion regarding this.
Let's say that you hunt pedophiles through the internet and you manage to get their PC infected and you can see that they are talking to kids and doing nasty stuff. Would you be okay if someone blackmailed them and made them pay like 5 grands and then report them to the police?

Yeah bro that's wrong, just report them exploiting them only brings you down to their level.

Don't get me wrong, I am not doing those kinds of stuff at the moment, I just want to hear peoples opinions about this. I don't have time to hunt pedophiles haha.

The only thing I'd want for a dirty pedo is to rot in jail for life. About the money part, I won't really like having money that he probably made off selling pedo videos or whatever. I know that it sounds pretty dumb and non-sense, but that's what I think. Anyway, if you want to black mail him, go ahead.

Its just better to report them to the police and blackmail them so they cant spend more money into buying CP

I would be okay, I'll would also be okay too if I was the hacker.
However, in many countries (not to say all countries), hacking is illegal if the person you hack is not aware and did not expressly gave his agreement for that.
Instead of having 1 pedophile in jail, you'll have 1 pedophile and 1 guy who tried to make this world a better place 😕

I personally would not want to make money off of the threat of exposing someone for exploiting children (thus myself indirectly making money off the exploitation of the children). Neither am I in the legal position to pass down such judgment on someone like this. It'd probably be best to figure out how to anonymously report the individual to the correct authorities.
On a side note... Would you mind giving a brief summary of what CSGO arena is? 👀

Yes, this would be immoral.

For starters, I don't feel bad for pedophiles...at all. Secondly, you weren't specific on payment so, would you really want someone like that to send you money electronically, knowing they may be searched? I wouldn't.

Greed is a natural human instinct. First thing is first, they need to be reported/exposed, especially if they have the potential of causing harm to the vulnerable. However, take money from them by all means, but bankrupting them, destroying their lives and furthermore, exposing them! Now that... That means you are using your moral compass to justify your wrong doings.
Take what they can afford to lose and then expose, or just expose. I couldn't personally rinse them and expose them and make them hated by society for something they can not control.

Blackmail is illegal.
Doesn't matter if the guy is a pedo or not. You can get in trouble for blackmail.

Well said, this is exactly what I was thinking. You can be linked to a pedo. Not bueno

I was wondering about that too, and after googling about it I found a few LE articles advising against it because if there is an ongoing investigation on someone and you blackmail him you may push him to erase all proof that could get him convicted.
