What is your advice to young women whose parents are afraid of them being on social media because of the trolling? @khanumarfa: Social media is a public space. It has to be made safe for women. The answer is to have more and more women active on social media. #WireDialogues

Abuse if it crosses a certain threshold can become a criminal offence but it is not wise to try and criminalise speech if it does not, because the law may then become an instrument for the curtailment of free speech. ~Nitya Ramakrishnan #WireDialogues
