Sure you could call it blackmail but that doesn't mean it's wrong. If you hold a cop accountable with footage of them, or a dashcam video of someone hitting your car or something, it's totally reasonable that this video be used to make others compensate for their shitty actions. I think it becomes bad when you use the footage to strengthen power disparicies over a long period of time, like a boss threatening to turn you in unless you do something for them. Or police busting sex workers etc.
