3.3 was it just pictures? was the troll seeking justice?

when the other pedo says what was he there for he looks at the boy and says, yeah yeah just pics, they were young, but looks like he is lying his arse off. then the boy says it was just the one picture

do you think it was a picture he took himself?

also people are debating whether the troll should be judge jury and executioner, the troll didnt do it out of a sense of justice, he turned the black dude in for being gay to his family, where is the crime there?

The black guy has a wedding ring on. So whatever he was doing he was cheating.
The woman was head of a massive company and was a racist.
The other guy was cheating on his wife with prostitutes.
And the other two were pedo's.
All were doing ilmoral deeds hence why the maleware was named shrive after penance.

The problem with the trolls plan was that THEY ARE ANONYMOUS TECH-SAVVY TROLLS. Most of the evidence for the sins could be faked, like how Kenny's hard drive was tampered with by the virus and the troll-fix - who knows what a tecchy troll could mak look like happened, if Kenny denied he looked at any kids... At least one of his victims would probably brazen it out, deny everything and say they were being set up.

Why would they fake it when it appears to all be true?
They wouldn't need to set him up as quite frankly he set himself up just like all the others did.

The various victims could claim it was all faked and not true, and maybe people would believe them, as the 'proof' comes from anonymous trolls.

Do you not think people as clever as they are have not thought about this?
They'll wipe all their interference with it leaving them to it.

Which is most likely why "they" also had these people commit illegal crimes as well. As a sort of insurance. At least with Kenny and the cheating man. Even if Kenny denies and is believed about the child pornography, he has the blood of a dead man all over him, not to mention the fact that he robbed a bank earlier. Can't fake that pee puddle.

He could say they were blackmailing him over what we viewerss thought, wanking to normal porn. Just deny that it was child porn.

He could argue that a. he was blackmailed into fighting the other guy, b it was self defence because the guy was trying to kill him. And he was also blackmailed into the bank robbery too, he didn't want to do it and should have the texts on his phone showing that he was coerced all along. He should've gone to the police, but he can argue he was scared and wasn't thinking straight - but anything to do with child porn, he could say that was what the trolls have added, the sick cherry on the cake.

Maybe the trolls chose victims too dumb to just say 'this is all lies, I'm being set-up by internet trolls, why would you believe them? They are trolls, they mess peoples lives up for fun..''

If they had no proof of blackmail how could they say they were being blackmailed?
They weren't just doing it for fun. THe whole episode is about how society deals with immorality and the reaction to it. If you listen to it its very much like the standard fb posts you'd read after a pedopile has been caught or indeed a cheating spouse.
It's over reactionary.

I know what the episode is about. I'm saying the trolls plan might not be foolproof. I'm nit-picking. Can the trolls make the texts that are appearing on their phones disappear? That seems to just be a regular text-messaging service on Kenny's phone, that's going to make his story about being blackmailed quite credible.

You are nitpicking at something that doesn't really need nitpicking.
Even if he said he was "blackmailed" he'd be done for armed robbery and manslaughter. He had no bomb attached to him, no threats of death to the family. He chose to commit these crimes in order to stop another.
It's not really the point of the story though
