\u00a0 From the supposed research you did about our website, it is very clear researching is not one of your top skills. \u00a0 There could be an innocent persons personal information being smeared all over the Internet. \u00a0It could be a classmate of someone you&#8217;ve been holding a grudge with your entire life for all we know. \u00a0 I am not saying they are or aren&#8217;t and it not my place to judge that but the line needs to be drawn somewhere. \u00a0 We have identified many predators over the years. \u00a0Imagine we started posting all of their personal information for millions of people to see. \u00a0That wouldn&#8217;t go over well just from a privacy point of view and especially before these criminals are convicted. \u00a0Now before anyone accuses us of protecting predators, believe me we hate pedophiles as much as he supposedly does but Youtube was correct to remove the videos.<\/p>\n<p>Recently there has been a surge in Predator hunting with the surge in online chat room usage due to Covid and a general increase in awareness. \u00a0 We are not forbidding it and it is not necessarily a bad thing but please be wary of your rights as a citizen and how far you go with obtaining information. \u00a0You must obey our chat rules also obey the law. \u00a0If MoneyMax has found pedophiles or any of our users have, please report them to a moderator at the very least. \u00a0If there are signs of immediate danger please report it to the Cybertip line or your local law enforcement. \u00a0Crying about it to people like MoneyMax won&#8217;t get you far. \u00a0They don&#8217;t even pick up the phones for him. \u00a0 Acting as a vigilante is not only reckless, but also dangerous. \u00a0Do not approach predators or engage them. \u00a0They are dangerous people and should be handled by law enforcement only. \u00a0 \u00a0Law enforcement is actually quite good at what they do. \u00a0They investigate and have many tools at their disposal to identify and aprehend criminals. \u00a0We have provided many agencies around the world with information leading to the arrests of these criminals and will continue to do so. \u00a0Again, please report any violations through the proper channels.<\/p>\n<p>We will update you once we have the changes ready. \u00a0Please be aware that the developer of our chat software is a third party person so when it is ready it will be ready. \u00a0We have no control over that. \u00a0If it could be done tomorrow, we would!<\/p>\n<p>Stay safe kids!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Kids!
