So the very last scene shows Pierrot talking to Majid's son. What's the point?

If there's a concrete scene showing who sent the tapes, then why is it still a debate who sent the tapes? And what does the son talking to the kid even imply?

Coincidence? Wow.
Magid's son has sought out a relationship with Pierrot (Georges son). Watch the final scene again, and watch it in reverse; Magid's son goes directly to him and Pierrot is clearly waiting for him. Magid's son's mindgame and torture of Georges, as payback for what he did to Magid (then and now) is going to continue. He will gain the trust of Pierrot, and then betray Pierrot, perhaps leading Pierrot to suicide.
This isn't over, and there will be no reconciliation. It will continue, as long as there is a price to be exacted from Georges.

It's not going to continue because the film ends. Haneke is not going to continue writing because there is nothing more to tell. You're merely imagining how you would like the film to end.
And don't tell me to watch a film again just because your interpretation does not align with mine. Have you seen Haneke's other films? Are you familiar with the work of Kieslowski and the parallels that draw between each other's work? Steven Woodward, a scholar on Kieslowski wrote a chapter in his book After Kieslowski: The Legacy of Krzysztof Kieslowski drawing the thematic similarities between that of Kryzystof and Michael's works. A re-occurring theme between both of their works is the observation of the interactions of people ignorant of each others connections. You can watch Code Unknown or Kieslowski's Red if you wish to see where I am coming from.
My interpretation is based on the thematic elements that constitute Haneke's filmography along with that of his influences. Yours seems to come from you projecting your own vindictive nature on that of the story's characters; which is fine as cinema is subjective, but don't attack me as if I have not put thoughtful consideration into the meaning of the film.

Wow. People like you shouldn't be allowed to vote. Or balance checkbooks.

They are totally gay lovers. We know this because they are both French, and one has long hair.
