And then the attacks went global. Over in Miami, Florida, Inji
Pennu learned about Nair's experience through her Facebook
network and decided to blog about it. Originally from Nair's
home state, Kerala, Pennu wanted to show solidarity, but she too
was attacked online with abusive language and threats of
violence. One commenter threatened to choke her. Soon, her
Facebook page was blocked by Facebook because someone had
complained to Facebook that she had a "fake" profile. Pennu
thinks trolls were responsible for this. She had to send
Facebook a proof of identification in order to unblock her page.
