“It's our opinion Twitter didn't do enough to mitigate the platform manipulation and did very little to stop the abuse and targeted harassment.”

In terms of the initiative, it's great; in terms of the substance of the law, it might not be a good blueprint, experts flagged.

In 2020, governments in 32 countries, including India, lost an estimated $126 billion in GDP because women were unable to contribute to the digital economy.

“Whitelisting” was evident with Brazilian footballer Neymar getting away with posting nude pictures of a woman who has accused him of rape.

The bhakt attack is unlikely to jeopardize Rihanna's platform -- but the same tactic is effective at silencing dissenters with less clout.

It might be even more helpful to sensitize the entire police force, irrespective of gender, to on- and off-line violence against women.

Online harassment is leading women to quit social media altogether -- widening the existing gender gap on the internet in India.

The world's favorite encyclopedia is a distinctly male -- and threatening -- environment.

Women are fighting back against inappropriate calls and texts.

Amnesty International is leading development of AI that can ID abusive language -- in American English.

A platform for public discourse has been weaponized.

Calling it trolling minimizes the amount of damage it really does.
