If I share a video of me talking about my mental health to * people and that is it. Would it be illegal for them to post it on social media
Hi ****,
In South Carolina, the legality of posting a video you shared depends on a few factors:
- If you explicitly told them not to share it publicly, posting it could be a violation of your privacy.
- Without your consent, sharing personal content may lead to legal issues.
Did you inform them of any restrictions regarding the sharing of the video?
If I have been harassed and threatened via social media if I don't do something the way they are saying they will leak nude photos of me. If I speak about it online and the mental abuse I have gone through, not mentioning any names, is that ok

I have and everytime I speak to someone such as a deputy they say sorry nothing we can do and refuse to even right a report for me to document what is happening. I messaged the captain over the investigation unit months ago multiple times with no response from anyone
