The BBC’s Global Disinformation Unit has discovered intimate pictures of women are being shared and viewed, without their consent, by tens of thousands of people on the social media app Telegram. Telegram is an App created for adult interaction and should not be used by children and teenagers.
The women believe their pictures were stolen, taken illicitly, or leaked as an act of ‘revenge porn’. Sometimes they’re shared for financial gain, but in some countries they’re being used as a political tool to silence women.
The full documentary is available on the BBC News YouTube channel.
