This is how Chinese propaganda works. This video is from Bangladesh, not India.
China has deployed government funded bots and propaganda machinery against India because they have a regional conflict with the country.
Y'all are getting played by the Chinese - masters in propaganda 🤡

TW: suicide, abuse, revenge porn

A story of multiple betrayals.

Over the past few months, I have gotten multiple requests of the same kind for some help with the police. The same nightmare. A boyfriend during the relationship asks for intimate photos or videos. She trusts him. She says yes because she believes in their bond. Not out of fear. Out of love.

Then they break up. Maybe he found someone else. Maybe she ended it. Within days or weeks, he messages , “I’ll leak your nudes to your college, your parents, your workplace.” Or worse, he actually uploads them. Telegram groups. Porn sites. WhatsApp forwards.

The first betrayal! Her life shatters overnight.

Then comes the second betrayal. Her family feels she betrayed them and they feel ashamed and embarrassed of her. Often blaming her for what has happened. One girl couldn’t eat for a week out of fear. Another dropped out of her college because screenshots were sent to her college groups. One tried suicide.

The third betrayal is the worst as even the state/police behave as if it is her own fault.

Yes, these women knew they were being filmed. They consented at the time, because they trusted the man they were in a relationship with. The crime is not the filming. The crime is the betrayal! Using trust and love and a moment's vulnerability as a weapon after the relationship ends.

Indian law under BNS 77 (IPC 354C) does have a clause that says that even if consent was given for filming, if distribution happens without consent, it is still an offense. But in practice, police officers don’t understand this. They see that she only filmed it, or that she agreed to it, and immediately blame the victim. It becomes even more embarrassing and difficult to visit the police stations for the complaint. Also the worry, what if the videos leak from the police itself!

The maximum punishment under 77 for first offense is weak - 1 to 3 years. But convictions are far too rare. Most cases never go to trial. The girls are too scared, ashamed, cursing themselves. The boyfriends know this. They threaten, blackmail, and destroy lives with near impunity.

A kind of psychological terrorism.

Compare this to how other countries treat the same act.

The UK has a dedicated intimate-image offence under the Online Safety Act 2023.

Canada gives up to 5 years.

The US has the TAKE IT DOWN Act making it a federal crime.

Japan has a dedicated Revenge Porn Law.

We are still using the voyeurism section that doesn’t fit at all here. Or the generic IT act sections.

What can we do?

We should immediately have a standalone law called “Prohibition of Non-Consensual Intimate Image Distribution” – with a minimum 3 years, maximum 10 years for aggravated cases (blackmail, wide sharing, suicide attempt).

More importantly, serious Police training to stop this victim-blaming. This is not her fault.

As it is now, neither the law nor the system recognizes it for what it is. A digital sexual abuse. Sexual violence carried out with a phone and a grudge.

That has to change.

It will soon become clear that when Israel chose to attack Dahiya yesterday, it was not only working to shatter negotiations between Trump and Iran

It was also consciously instigating an escalation that would inevitably place US regional bases under Iranian fire

What an ally

@stellensatz @omarali50 AFAIK no one in India’s political & administrative circles has either the capability, intent, or incentive to do anything other than tweak a mostly-obsolete system that is spewing errors. Only path I see is for systems-people to work on it & somehow build political backing.

Yesterday’s CJP protest at Jantar Mantar shows Social Media outrage and realities in public life are different. First of all name Cockroach was a negative one. In many locations India, Opposition students unions conducting big protests against NEET leak and CBSC fiasco. CJP guys spoiled the protest. It was just AAP guys enjoyed money and power for past 12 years, in association with perennial protestors like JNU Azadi, Dafli and LGBT gangs … yesterday not seen Gaza freedom gang ..: 😎

The most painful irony is that the only ritual space finally available to her was neither her inherited tradition nor her husband’s, but a third religious framework that intervened on humanitarian grounds.

The Delhi anti-Hindu riots in February 2020 did not begin on the streets. And this revelation might be the beginning of the end of the careers of charlatan 'activists'.

The Delhi Police's 2700-page chargesheet says it began in rooms where activists, lawyers, student leaders and professional “dissent managers” discussed mobilisation, chakka jam, social media narratives and mosque-led street pressure.

The question is: how many riots in India were first drafted in such drawing rooms before they exploded on the streets?

This expose by @UnSubtleDesi in @OpIndia_com is clear: Prashant Bhushan’s Jangpura premises hosted one of the earliest conspiracy meetings attended by Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and Yogendra Yadav.

@pushpendrakum The property price bubble in India would be the last one to crash- it's a nexus- ask homebuyers who have not got their home from last 20 years, they would tell you what is this nexus all about? so people who are waiting to buy a home when prices comes down- you are day dreaming

What does a “strong Pakistan”mean? It is a loaded word.

Institutionally strong? US wouldn’t have that in mind because the US prefers Pakistan under the political control of the Field Marshal.

Economically strong? It is on an IMF drip and Saudi doles.

Militarily strong? Does it mean the US is ready to give arms aid to Pakistan?

In what sense is a strong America specifically good for Pakistan?

Where is China- Pakistan relationship in all this? China is Pakistan’s biggest defence and economic partner. It is involved in major strategic projects in the country.

What about Pakistan’s involvement in state sponsored terrorism? Its links with Osama bin Laden, LeT etc are now forgotten? The US is now satisfied Pakistani society is no longer radicalised.

Pakistan’s nuclear and missile programmes are no longer of concern? Why has concern surfaced about Pakistan developing ICBM capability?

Pakistan’s “strength” is unfortunately India- centric.

The US diplomat evidently thinks a strong, militarised Pakistan is good for the region.

That is not our view.

India is a horribly corrupt and terribly lawless country not because of politicians but because the people are actually stupid and spineless.

Our achievement is that we're better than Pakistan and that's because their people are even more stupid and spineless
