What should I do if someone is blackmailing me online?
What can we do if someone is blackmailing us with private information? A person has been talking to me since last month, and on Sunday, he asked me to do something wrong. When I refused, he started sending my pictures to others on social media to blackmail me. What should I do in this situation?
