My friend recently told me about a documentary she's watched at the movie festival. It's called "Caught in the net"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caught_in_the_Net_(2020_film))

Synopsis is that movie director hired 3 adult but young looking actresses (20yo) to act as a teenage girls (12 yo) online.

They've created profiles on multiple online platform (I believe FB, skype and some other for finding friends online I don't remember) posing as typical teenage girls. The code of conduct was to never contact anyone first, never flirt or mention sex and at any mention of sex act shy and uncomfortable - your typical teenage girl behavior. Each of them spent 12 hours online on those platforms every day.

The documentary was running for 10 days.

In 10 days 3 actresses were contacted by 2458 male predators. They tried to coerce, demand nudes, blackmail, openly masturbated on video and pushed for meetings in real life.

There was one man (one!) who told one of the girls that she should be careful and never share pictures online and that sex is something that is only done with loved ones.

I also believe at some point one of the women in the film crew recognized one of the predators as someone she knows in real life and someone who works with children.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the full version online, but here is trailer and it's truly depressive: https://vimeo.com/395961830

My friend who've seen the movie at the festival was watching it with potential suitor. After they've watched it, he said that the biggest problem with pedophilia is that parents don't limit their kids access to the internet.

​

I haven't watched the full movie myself but I can't stop thinking about it. How one can see young vulnerable girl and just want to exploit her. How generations and generations of women had experienced this depravity. How one can watch entire really explicit movie and still be willing to turn the blind eye and blame someone else. How easy it is to expect a person next to you to be decent human being and them turning out to be just.. this.
