Of course.

I don't understand how the FBI are allowed to do that, or how they even allow themselves to do that... when they're meant to fight crime how can they break the law themselves? It doesn't seem to make any sense, wtf. Is there some sort of weird FBI legal loophole that allows them to do this or something?
I don't know that there is a loophole, but if there is it ought to be shut. We Americans hold the view that allegedly, no one is above the law. Given the 0.0014% efficiency of the operation, the justification seems especially weak.
If you're going to violate the laws you set out to enforce, at least make a good show of it. From the numbers, it appears that the FBI has provided child porn to well over 99,000 viewers. Even from a practical standpoint, the operation doesn't seem justified, and that's not addressing the principle of the matter.
