Straight Talk About Sextortion: An Emerging Cybercrime and What You Need to Know

For all of the advantages, connections, and collective good that innovative technology has created over the last decade, you’d have to be living under a rock or wearing very thick rose-colored glasses to ignore all of the subsequent problems which have arisen as a result.

As a human living on planet earth, I would argue that we do have some sort of obligation – perhaps duty is a better word – to put our mobile devices down for at least a moment, peek around, and take a look at the new realities of our world. Not to exacerbate the guilt we may already feel about our pre-destined privilege, but merely as an act of human decency.

Ashton Kutcher & Shay Mitchell Teamed Up To Fight Sexual Harassment Online

If you're a young person who grew up using the internet, chances are good that you're familiar with phrases like "revenge porn," and "cyberbullying," but have you ever heard of "sextortion?"

It's a real thing — so real that the FBI made a video to explain it — and Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell is trying to put an end to it. Mitchell teamed up with Thorn, a nonprofit organization cofounded by Ashton Kutcher, that builds technology to defend kids from sexual abuse, to create a social campaign and video about sextortion.
