Authors! Book bans are surging across the country. This surge is not random. It has in part been driven by organized online forums and even some political campaigns. If your book has been challenged, here’s a thread on what you can do. #bannedbooks #freadom #booktwitter

We @AIIndia have similar findings on the situation in Jammu & Kashmir and online violence faced by women in India. The 213 days long internet shutdown in J&K clearly contributed to India's presence on this list along with the incessant trolling faced by women in India. (2/4)
.@AIIndia's study found that 1 in every 7 tweets that mentioned #womenpoliticians in India was 'problematic' or 'abusive'. The situation is terrible with a shrinking space for dissent & unlawful surveillance against #HumanRightsDefenders through spyware & WhatsApp targeting.(3/4)

The definition of trolling is changing.
Trolling was seen as luring others online into pointless, time-consuming arguments and to ‘get a rise’ for a troll’s amusement or to alleviate boredom.
It has now become intentionally malicious behavior to specifically cause distress.
