Why online harassment goes unpunished in India
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-33532706
Experts and victims both agree that it's very challenging to do
anything about vicious trolling online. "I faced all the
harassment, even the court summons," Ms Krishnan says. "Nothing
happened to my abusers. So I would think 20 times before making
a police complaint. Even when I write to Twitter pointing out a
gang-rape threat, Twitter writes back saying it doesn't violate
their community guidelines." Twitter India says they do take
action and block abusive tweeters.
