sending false communications
sending threatening communications
sending or showing flashing images electronically to people with epilepsy intending to cause them harm (‘epilepsy trolling’)
encouraging or assisting serious self-harm
sending a photograph or film of a person’s genitals (‘cyberflashing’)
sharing or threatening to share intimate photographs or film
Or a lot more commonly - critique of immigration policy
