These people didn't go away. Some of them are even probably here on Lemmy, watching for anyone with a weakness they can exploit to try to recruit them.

A bunch of them were arrested, but a bunch of them weren't. Stay vigilant. Don't tolerate these kinds of people.

If only parents could monitor their teens use of technology. Oh wait they can and should. Funny all the small government people shouting about showing and verifying government ids and won't someone think of the children.

oh wait they can

Oh c'mon. Unless you're going to spend 100% of your time following your kids around, you won't know half the shit they do.

Unless you build trust with the kid. So that if the child is having disturbing thoughts, you'd be the first person they'd find unconditional help from, and that in really bad cases - you'd help arranging professional therapy for them.
