Activist network Anonymous is planning a day of action to expose establishment child abuse and cover ups.
The group, best known for high-profile computer hacks, has codenamed its latest task 'Operation Death Eaters' and is demanding an end to secrecy around abuse networks.
It says it will collect and then publish mass information on abuse scandals in the UK and around the world in the hope of ensuring people are fully aware of "paedo-sadist" abuse.
A London-based activist, who uses the pseudonym Jake Davis, told Sky News: "This isn't a situation where we are looking to create mayhem. It's about giving the public information so we can confront these problems that go back decades.
"The stories that are coming out are the torture and murder of children with our trusted politicians and that is unacceptable.
"You have to ask: Why are they protecting them?"
The group has recently published videos to YouTube promising to expose "paedo-sadists" and warning abusers that they should have been "expecting us".
There are concerns though about Anonymous' plan to expose abusers and whether its activities may hamper ongoing investigations - potentially putting children at further risk.
Former head of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre (CEOP), Jim Gamble, told Sky News: "It's fraught with so many difficulties.
