New products are being weaponised against women, but is it just the tip of the iceberg as we enter a boom period for technology abuse?

A BBC investigation has found that women's intimate pictures are being shared to harass, shame and blackmail them on a massive scale, on the social media app Telegram.

For 10 years, Matthew Hardy harassed people online by creating fake social media accounts to spread lies about them.

However, one thing they all shared was a persistent paranoia, brought on by not knowing the identity of the person behind the accounts or why they were being targeted.
