     @kaia "cyber" anything is pretty much the new age terminology that marketing ponzy schemers likes to put on anything today.

     @kaia When I search it, I get lots of English results but it does seem to mostly come from German or Germany-adjacent sources. I think most people would just say "grooming" and not feel the need to be more specific since most grooming is online anyways. But it's descriptive and the meaning is self-evident so cybergrooming seems like a perfectly fine word to use regardless of origin.
