The internet isn't just dangerous for girls, with Tir Dhondy
We talk a lot on Standard Issue about how young women are victimised online, but young men are increasingly at risk too. Something terrifyingly obvious in Tir Dhondy's latest investigation, Blackmailed: The Sextortion Killers, now available to watch on BBC3. Hannah chats to Tir about the victims, the perpetrators and what, if anything, can be done to stop it.
You can watch Tir's documentary on the iPlayer here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002kl4v/blackmailed-the-sextortion-killers
