Aloo's sister shaheen to take legal action against trolls. - Page 3

Calling someone ra*di is not swearing, it's abuse and cyber bullying/harassment. And it's against the rules of the social media platforms she is in be it instagram or twitter and there are cyber bullying laws in India as well. Just because people are rarely held accountable doesn't mean it's okay. It should be the responsibility of the SM sites to make their platform a safe space for dialogue and not cyber bullying. Do we talk like this here in this forum? No right? Despite having thousand differences all discussions are kept civil.

So taking legal action against abuse is not curbing 'freedom of speech'. Trolling and abuse is different. People posting 🐍 on her comments is trolling, calling her 'maa ki c*t r*ndi benc*d' is not trolling. It's straight up abuse. And not just Shaheen, anyone would do the same if they would face such comments under their tag every single day-

@Bold. Twitter rules are not laws. Trolling and abuse do come under freedom of expression. Threats, however, do not. Plus, a good lawyer can stretch it and claim calling her a pro* is not merely an insult but a defamatory accusation.

But Twitter can only kick someone out of their platform. Trolling and abuse in a court of law still counts as freedom of expression. No one has to like it, but the law is what it is.

Nor should it change, IMO. What happens if there's someone like Epstein whom politicians support? The same trolling and abuse would put public pressure on the government to act.

So yeah, maintaining that freedom of expression is crucial even if there are cases like Alia's. Without FOE, there will be no democracy.

You did a better job explaining than I did. I actually want them to take this to court. It would be great way for these bimbos to learn about freedom of expression too.

Then they can get their accounts banned from those platforms at most. They can't do anything legally. Michella and Barack Obama got the worst most racist trolling/abuse on social media ever. And no! No one was held accountable because when you make yourself a public personality you sign yourself up for trolling, judgment and public resentment. Again all they have to do is block they won't deal with them simple.

Nope, don't know where you stay but here they can go the legal way. Yesterday Shubham Mishra was arrested by Vadodara Police for issuing rape threat through instagram to Agrima Joshua. Today Mumbai police arrested Umesh Dada for doing the same on instagram. There have been many cases where a troll posting abusive comments on twitter/facebook has been kicked out of their workplace too. Forget celebrities, even for normal people here, if someone bullies you on social media, you can approach the cyber cell of the police station and file a complaint. Cyber laws weren't that strict a few years ago in the country but thankfully people have woken upto it and everyone has started taking the laws seriously.

Zindagi main ith ka jawab pathar se dena sikho. Yeh case wase se kuch nhi hota. Troll ke badle troll. Bullying ke badle bullying. Dont get upset over it. Learn to take everything and anything. Fir chahe tum khud bhi kyu na cyber bullying ke jurm main andar ho jao. LOL.

Yahan baat trolling ki nahi, death aur rape threat ki hai? Rape aur death threat ki badle waise hi threat se diya jana chahiye? As a public figures they have to make their skin thick to tolerare a trolling but it must be really hard to take on rape threat eventhough they don't mean to do that in reality.

Nothing. It's just to scare ppl😆

No, it's to highlight that they have been getting such comments, it would stop the normal as well as special people who were criticizing them. No one wojld like to be in the same group as the threaters, so they would shut their mouth.

A Sonakshi fan once told me Sonakshi had been getting rape threats from Sallu fans (It was after Dabanng 2). It is a norm for female celebs, the difference with others and Kalia is Kalia have been playing politics using the comments which almost every female celebs are subjected to.

EXACTLY and hence the legal action! Have you even read the headline of the tweet or Shaheen's story? It is about taking legal action against rape and death threats!

Rape and Death Threats obviously doesn't come under Criticism or Trolling.

Bold : It's Pathetic and True

I am glad laws are not made by appalling humans who consider rape threats as FoE,otherwise the likes of shubham mishra wouldn't have got arrested either.The fact that he was arrested proves that you do have the option of taking a legal route in case of rape threats being issued to you and that it is not mere freedom of expression.

The things you read here!
