**CHRIS HANSEN: THE DIGITAL DRAGNET**
**Dateline.** The godfather of internet justice, Chris Hansen, is back—and he’s not just busting predators on TV.
**The shift.** “To Catch a Predator” creator has quietly launched a fully digital, self-funded sting operation. Using advanced AI surveillance and a team of ex-cyber investigators, Hansen is now bypassing law enforcement to broadcast live takedowns directly to millions on YouTube.
**The result.** First month: 17 arrests, zero convictions yet. Cops and prosecutors are scrambling. Critics call it vigilantism. Supporters call it a broken system’s only hope.
**The bottom line.** Hansen has turned the hunter into the hunted. The question: is this accountability or anarchy?
