Sextortion Victims in Canada - Tech Companies & Law Enforcement Response

Investigative reporter with the Winnipeg Free Press (Canada) looking into how tech companies respond to information requests from non-U.S. law enforcement agencies POST APPROVED BY MODS My name is Marsha McLeod, and I'm an investigative reporter with the Winnipeg Free Press, based in Winnipeg, Canada. We are an independently-owned, non-partisan daily newspaper. You can read my bio and previous coverage here (some of it is paywalled): https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/biographies/marsha-mcleod I am looking into how US-based tech companies, especially Snap Inc., respond to law enforcement agencies' requests for information about sextortion perpetrators, when those agencies are based outside of the U.S. I am also looking into how Canadian law enforcement agencies investigate sextortion generally and how they react when the perpetrator is traced to a country outside of the U.S. or Canada. I am looking to speak with people based in Canada who have been victimized by a perpetrator of sextortion. The types of questions I would want to ask are around how far law enforcement took the investigation into your victimization; if you are aware what information your local law enforcement agency received from the tech company implicated in the abuse (and how long it took for the tech company to deliver this information to law enforcement); whether you were told if the perpetrator was outside of Canada/U.S.; and whether that factor played a role in how far the investigation went and whether any charges were filed. Feel free to email me at [email redacted] or find me on Signal under the username marshamcleodwfp.30 I am completely OK with speaking with you anonymously, i.e. no name attached to the interview (we would select a pseudonym of your choice and decide the level of location detail that you are comfortable with), though I will say up front that I would be interested to view some documents in relation to your interaction with law enforcement.
