Are We Dating the Same Person?
麻豆官网首页入口 Trending investigates 鈥淎re We Dating the Same Guy?鈥� Facebook groups and how a Telegram group set up in response led to revenge porn being shared with thousands.
At the start of 2025, a chat appeared on the encrypted messaging app Telegram.
It was named 鈥淎re we dating the same girl?鈥� At first only a few hundred people joined. Soon that was thousands, and its content went from details of young women鈥檚 dating history, to revenge porn - sexually explicit videos and images.

Why are they seen as an important safety tool for some and something that鈥檚 ruined lives for others? And how did the idea spread to Telegram, with serious consequences?
