Sextortion?

[kancutlawns]

In some ways I am glad I am not a youngster growing up in these times. Think of all the stupid things you did when growing up. Everything you do in life can be blasted all over the Internet and there is nothing you can do about. Even some of the msm news sights plaster stuff daily which has no public interest. People's lives ruined in a matter of minutes.

Very true.

When I think how immature and irresponsible I was when I was young, I would have been in an awful lot of bother had the internet & social media been around then.

Me too??!!

When you were a youngster, Dougy, you went nuts abusing the new fangled penny black stamp.

And fell off the penny farthing.

What's the difference between this and what Reg said?
I'm genuinely baffled.

Four men killed themselves in the last year after being blackmailed as part of an increasing cyber "sextortion" racket.
International gangs of organised criminals are targeting more and more young men by luring them into potentially compromising positions, the National Crime Agency said.

The number of people reporting financially-motivated cyber enabled blackmails more than doubled from 385 in 2015 to 864 up to November 2016

The answer is to have a separate Skype account unrelated to your real facebook profile for all webcam-wanking activities. Apparently.
