We are all very familiar with the world of social media. Anything can go viral here, especially when it's related to a celebrity. Recently, there were reports of conflict in the relationship between Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his wife Dhanashree Verma. Since then, rumors of divorce between the two are constantly spreading on social media. However, there is no comment from the couple yet.
Both Yuzvendra and Dhanshree are very active on social media. Both keep posting videos and photos together, which are loved by their fans. However, the two unfollowed each other on Instagram amid reports of relationship strain. Chahal has also removed pictures of Dhanshree from his account. Since then Dhanashree Verma has been on the target of social media users.
It is often seen that in any such case social media users choose a side as per their convenience. In such cases, if the man is a big celebrity then his fans start trolling the woman and writing good and bad.
Many users also target family and professional life during this period. At the same time, in many cases 'media trials' also take place.
We are in such a situation today relationshipWe will know in-
- Why should one not comment on a person's personal life?
- Can trolls be prosecuted?
- What harm can trolling do to us?
- How to become a better netizen?
Why should one not comment on a person's personal life?
Psychiatrist Dr. Satyakant Trivedi says that every person has the right to live his life in his own way. It is absolutely wrong to say good or bad about someone's personal life and lifestyle. Before speaking or writing anything about someone, we should put ourselves in their place and think. We must understand how our words will make him feel.
Remember, everyone has their own problems and challenges, which only that person can understand well. Therefore, we should refrain from commenting on other's personal life.
Can legal action be taken against trolling?
Trolling someone on social media can be dangerous. This not only spoils our habits and social image but also leads to legal action.
Many people suffer psychologically from trolling and abusive comments. In such a situation, if you or someone close to you is becoming a victim of trolling, you can take legal action against the trollers. Also, if someone close to you is trolling someone, stop them from doing so. Let's understand this graphically.
Complaints can be filed against trollers under cyber laws and relevant statutory provisions. If someone harasses you mentally or emotionally, you can file a complaint with the police or cyber cell.
What harm do we do by trolling someone?
When we troll someone, we not only hurt the other person but also lose our peace of mind. Gradually we begin to enjoy speaking ill of others and upsetting them.
This not only damages our inner soul but also damages our image. People start to dislike us. Trolls can have a hard time if the other person gets offended and takes legal action.
What are the ways to become a better netizen?
Internet is also like our home-family and school-college. We should use the internet to our advantage. Care should be taken not to harm anyone and one should try to become a better netizen. Let's understand this graphically.
Let's understand the graphic in detail.
fact check
Do not forward any news that goes viral on social media without fact checking. If you want to react to any news, check its veracity first. Many times you can unintentionally harm others' lives by spreading rumours.
Avoid conflict
Be respectful of those you interact with on social media. Avoid commenting on someone's personal life or their decisions. Be careful not to hurt anyone with your words.
Try to create a positive atmosphere on social media
We should all take responsibility for maintaining a positive environment on social media. Making fun of someone, spreading rumors and making negative comments is wrong. It increases hatred and spreads tension in the society.
Just trust the official statement
If any news is spread about any celebrity or public figure, their official statement or interview is the ultimate truth. Don't take any rumor spread on social media as true unless there is a comment from the person concerned about it.
Cross check any news elsewhere
Many times, parts of photos or videos are cropped and misrepresented on social media. In such a situation, we should read the news carefully and try to understand its truth.
Respect privacy
Commenting or criticizing someone's personal life is not only wrong, but can also be a violation of their privacy. We should avoid interfering in the personal affairs of others.
Use smartphone and internet properly
Smartphones and internet have become an important part of our lives, but we must use them properly. Social media platforms should be used wisely. For some opinions and money, content that disturbs one's peace of mind should not be given.
Show understanding on sensitive issues
When a sensitive issue comes up, act wisely. Spreading rumors for fun sends a wrong message to the society. One should try to maintain restraint in any dispute.
Make others aware We should also make others aware to avoid rumors on social media. If you see someone giving wrong information, give them correct information. This will make our digital world better and we can move towards a better society.
