Social media has given a platform for the common person to connect with their favourite stars. However, it has also given the netizens a platform to troll the celebrities, abuse them and sometimes even issue threats. Sonam K Ahuja, Konkona Sensharma, Dia Mirza and many other stars raised their voice against this harassment, by pledging their support to a petition to raise this issue of online abuse against women with the social media companies.
The stars shared the petition on Twitter and wrote, ‘enough is enough’, as they asserted that it was high time to end ‘targetted abuse and harassment’ against women online. Using the hashtag #IndianAgainstAbuse, the petition urged Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to take the relevant steps in this regard.
