anyone have more info on the group that makes these videos ? seems like they make decoy accounts and pretend to be underage targets but would like to learn more about their process: are they legit or would it be equivalent to police entrapment ?

The article tries to make the story all about Facebook, when it basically just boils down to the fact that a (alleged, there is still due process required) pervert worked there. They didn't know about him, they weren't harboring him or anything, it's just a low level employee doing something inappropriate.

The head of global community development is a low level employee?

What do you mean legit? Usable in court?

Nothing else is really equivalent to "police entrapment" though. What makes that bad is that it's the police doing it, otherwise it's just asking a favor.

If you can lie your way to getting someone to confess to a crime that's pretty much fine in the legal system, I think. Police do it all the time anyway and not even as some shady thing they have to hide it's just part of the work.
