    Why include cyber bullying?

    I believe they mean something like being victim in a case of someone extorting them by threatening to leak photos/videos?

        I think some of these just overlap. For example there can be a scammer pretending to be someone who is not. Then the victim may share content that wouldn’t share otherwise. Then the scammer extortions the victim by threatening to leak content in the victim’s social circle.
