REQUEST
Under the FOI Act please could you provide me with a list of criminal complaints made since the beginning of 2020 about behaviour on the following platforms: Roblox, TikTok, OnlyFans, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, Snapchat, Whatsapp, LinkedIn, YouTube and WhatsApp.
Please could you provide details/a categorisation of the alleged offence (e.g. harassment, sexual grooming, etc.), the month of the alleged offence, the age of the crime's victim, and the status of the case (i.e. arrest, arrest no charge, arrest and charge, no arrest, etc.) as of today.
**UPDATED REQUEST**
I sent through an FOI request earlier with the subject line "Sunday Times" that asked for information about crimes and social media. I sent this widely to several police forces and have received some requests for clarifications. I thought it would be helpful to amend the request as below (please let me know if any other questions arise from this):
For the time period: 2020 to current date (calendar years).

Roblox
