I don't think the poster is encouraging vigilantism. It's more warning people to be on their guard and not fall for this guy's ploy.

Yeah, but they published a photo of someone without their consent and made allegations against them. Regardless of OP's intent, I don't think a magistrate would see if that way. Sexual assault is a terrible crime and luring people into is completely fucked, I just think doxxing is also fucked and it's also a crime. As we are taught from a young age, two wrongs don't make a right.

Either way, it's nice to be able to discuss things like adults over here without resorting to brigading or threats of violence.
