Along these lines, schools and guardians know about the things kids are doing on the web and their telephones and act in case they are accomplishing something that they shouldn't be. 

Word of Author  

Ø    Nowadays our lives are rapidly changing because of technological revolutions in all fields of our daily life. We are regularly using the internet and various social media platforms on a daily basis. We should know about all the advantages as well as disadvantages of these platforms, then only we can protect ourselves against any type of cyber bullying attacks online and can guide our friends as well as relatives if they need help in this regard.  

Ø    India is one of the countries where cyberbullying is the most prevalent. We experienced it very closely during the second wave of COVID-19 crisis.  Rumours have been spread about the deaths of the Corona Virus and the Oxygen crisis to create panic. It causes very harm not only to the government but also to the public.   

Ø    Government should take care of it by implementing more technology-based tools to prevent such types of activities at least in future. Stricter policies will be put into force to tackle this serious problem by passing bills in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.   

Ø    Every citizen of India should be responsible while dealing with this type of social taboos by prompt reporting to the concerned authorities through online tools available.    

Ø    All social media platforms should take this problem very seriously as the number of cases is increasing very speedily with the number of internet users.  They should provide dedicated tools and an online reporting system to address the issue promptly. 

Ø    Finally, the government should set up a committee with all stakeholders (i.e., technical experts, judiciary experts and educational/psychology experts) to study on the subject matter in depth to gross roots, ask them to submit recommendations in the form of a report within a stipulated time frame.  Ensure that all the recommendations should be included in the policy by drafting “Anti-Cyberbullying Act” and make it pass in both the houses after due course of discussions with opposition parties.  The Judiciary and Central Enforcement Department should implement the same in letter and spirit. 

 

Ø    Social media companies should also frame country-wise policies against cyberbullying since their services are being provided globally whereas their head offices have been set up in a single country.  The logic behind this thought, single law or policy cannot be made applicable to all countries which may be contrary to some particular country. We recently noticed the dispute between the Indian Government and Twitter.  Social media companies should honour the rule of the land and its constitution as well as sovereignty.
