Decoding India’s Proposed Online Porn Ban – I

Gendered abuse online betrays the same kind of prejudices, insecurities, and misogyny as that in the offline space.

When she cried for help, no one stepped forward to help her, instead the men surrounded the woman and demanded to let go the molester. These men are probably working in gangs and come together in defense when one of them gets caught.”
