Increasing numbers of people fall victim to blackmail on social media. Yet, there has been little attempt to synthesise research on this topic. This study seeks to address this gap by investigating what is currently known about blackmail and the disclosure of sensitive information on social media. Two rapid reviews were conducted and based on their findings those who disclose more information, are younger, female and willing to use social media to create and distribute images are more likely to fall victim to blackmail on social media. However, worry about privacy and the possibility of becoming a victim of blackmail on social media did not necessarily prevent the disclosure of sensitive information. The implications of these findings for interventions and future research are discussed.

社交媒体上的勒索:我们知道什么,什么仍然未知?

越来越多的人成为社交媒体勒索的受害者。然而,很少有人尝试对这一主题进行综合研究。本研究旨在通过调查目前已知的有关勒索和社交媒体上敏感信息的披露来弥补这一差距。进行了两次快速审查,根据他们的调查结果,那些披露更多信息、更年轻、女性并且愿意使用社交媒体创建和分发图像的人更有可能成为社交媒体勒索的受害者。然而,对隐私的担忧以及在社交媒体上成为勒索受害者的可能性并不一定能阻止敏感信息的泄露。讨论了这些发现对干预措施和未来研究的影响。
