Online Trolls Are Restricting And Limiting Debate And Dialogue

angry man shouting

Despite the centre wrapped up in anti-incumbency over a range of concerns from pandemic to unemployment, it gets a breather with organised online trolls taking up their fight to the best of their conviction and capacity. Hardly, do they refrain from committing a sin done with a prior purpose in a mind engineered to neutralize the after-effects of criticism and dissent if at all it exists?

Representative Image.

The point is why have the amendments to new Information and Technology acts and laws not been a sufficient guarantee against the use, misuse and abuse of online platforms? It could have developed in the building of constructive content for dissemination, debate and dialogue, but on the contrary, is being restricted and limited.

Whom should they fear as for the recent Pegasus snooping scandal where attempts were made to chase the whistleblowers daring to calm and claim the impulsive and authoritarian powers of an executive riding roughshod on the majority in the lower house (Lok Sabha).

Discouraging and demotivating all those seeking clarity on wider areas of interest and conflict severing the ties between the executive and judiciary? Judicial activism has but become the ultimate reality of remedying the legislative ills and excesses. Nobody knows when such practices will be brought to an end undermining the faith of common and ordinary in the system?

Fears and fissures become companion sanctioned by those blindly wanting to return to the mythical puritanical past. Maybe, trolls can’t be accused guilty of managing whatever they can from their end to reach this scale and size

No offence to it.
