If you tell someone... Anyone... It's no longer private. If you put it on your social media (public like Facebook) or send a private message to someone, it's not a private message. In the case of the private message, it's up to the recipient as to what they do with it.

But if you share something with the intent of harming someone, then yes, it could be a crime.

It all boils down to intent. So is retweeting a crime? No. Is sharing communications with the intent to harm someone? Yes

I've seen folks Resharing messages all the time with the intention to harm. Whether it be a misspelled word, incorrect assumption, wrong prediction....But does doing nothing other than sharing make it harassment  and/or criminal
