We get a story about detecting what they think are minors on the site, supported by looking at user stats and deducting that there's too many at age 18. Useful but a bit weak? And contacting one who appears to be 13. Good, thats helpful and concerning! Then it shifts from "admin asked me to prove they are underage" to "admin is trafficking minors."
Is it really surprising such a leap hasn't been well received? Then there are citations to "that woman in colorado" and "pandaguy(?)" Come on anon, not even a link? Isn't this stretching a bit?
I get tips like this from time to time, it usually works out well by first dealing really carefully with admins, then maybe the community, before just firing off tons of emails to media and linking some admins personal AD account. Wow was that necessary?
Most recently there was an explicit account run by a minor with 800 members - we got it completely shut down this week just by community pressure. This was an especially positive resolution to another case of minors in an explicit chat. https://twitter.com/DogpatchPress/status/952550456118493184?s=19
People cant easily detect this stuff, it's not their fault and thats the scary thing about this law.
