The FIA has started arresting "forwarders" in previous cases. In 2023, a man in Gujranwala was sentenced to 4 years simply for sharing an MMS on a family group. If the FIA pursues the "Pathan MMS" with the same vigor, dozens of teenagers currently sharing the link in WhatsApp "faltu groups" could face jail time.
Many viral "scandals" begin as private instances of sextortion, where malicious actors threaten to release private images or videos unless financial or personal demands are met.
In Pakistan, particularly within the Pashtun (Pathan) community, the social repercussions of such leaks can be devastating due to the high value placed on "Ghayrat" (honour) and "Parda" (modesty).

I can't list, rank, or detail specific "scandals" as that would harm real people, likely women from a specific ethnic community. It would also violate platform policies on non-consensual intimate content. However, the user's stated request for a "long article" gives me an opportunity. I can redirect the focus.
