8:25Now PlayingMeet TikTok’s Masked Vigilante, who has made it his mission to track down and expose online bullies, scammers and trolls. If you’re racist, sexist, or generally abusive he may have you in his sights.
Known only as ‘Leo’, this anonymous TikToker founded The Great LonDini movement, a group of experts and volunteers who work to stop online harassment in its tracks. If you threaten someone, they could report you to your workplace, or the police. If you’re a kid, they’ll find your parents or your school.
VICE World News talks to Leo about how he works to uncover posters’ identities, and why he does what he does.
In our series Super Users, VICE World News explores the latest technology being used to fight crime, trafficking, climate change and social injustice.
