According to media persons, focus has to now be shifted from 'bringing people online' to teaching them how to 'behave' online.
In 2016 when journalist Rana Ayyub's book 'Gujarat Riots - Anatomy of a Cover-Up' - was released, she may not have imagined the volume and shelf-life of the hate she was about to receive. Today, two years since the book's release, Ayyub continues to be regularly trolled, she continues to get death and rape threats, her reputation continues to be systematically desecrated, she continues to feature in fake and inciteful 'news' content, tailored to incite ignorant masses. But though Ayyub has remained one of the most trolled women journalists in India, she is not the only one.
