Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
<br>
*SFLC.in’s report titled “Online Harassment: A Form of Censorship”*<br>
<br>
On November 22, 2016, SFLC.in released a report titled “Online<br>
Harassment: A Form of Censorship<br>
<<a href="http://sflc.in/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/OnlineHarassment_SFLCin.pdf" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://sflc.in/wp-content/<wbr>uploads/2016/11/<wbr>OnlineHarassment_SFLCin.pdf</a>>”<br>
at an event organized in New Delhi in association with the Digital<br>
Empowerment Foundation, Internet Democracy Project, Foundation for Media<br>
Professionals, and IT for Change. The The report was jointly released by<br>
Mr. Baijayant Panda (Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha), Mr. Arvind Gupta<br>
(National Head, Information and Technology, BJP), Mr. Anyesh Roy [Deputy<br>
Commissioner of Police (Cyber Cell), Delhi Police], Mr. Chetan<br>
Krishnaswamy (Director, Public Policy, Google India), Ms. Mahima Kaul<br>
(Head of Public Policy, Twitter India), Mr. Saikat Datta (Cyber Security<br>
Consultant and Consulting Editor, Scroll.in), and Ms. Anja Kovacs<br>
(Director, Internet Democracy Project).<br>
<br>
SFLC.in has been studying online harassment as form of censorship that<br>
forces people out of participation in online policy discourses. This<br>
report’s goal is to explore this phenomenon in detail, document how<br>
people experience the effects of harassment in their lives as we work<br>
towards finding a workable and understandable ways to address the<br>
problem. The report is supported by the Software Freedom Law Center, New<br>
York and Jigsaw, a New York based think tank, and features dialogues<br>
with key stakeholders, including social media platforms and 18 prominent<br>
individuals comprising legislators, journalists, civil society actors<br>
and targets of online harassment campaigns, who have had first hand<br>
glimpses at the plight of the harassed. The individuals interviewed are:<br>
<br>
1. Abhinandan Sekhri, Co-founder, NewsLaundry<br>
<br>
2. Arvind Gupta, National Head, Information and Technology, BJP<br>
<br>
3. Baijayant Panda, Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha<br>
<br>
4. Bishakha Datta; Executive Director, Point of View<br>
<br>
5. Hartosh Singh Bal; Political Editor, The Caravan<br>
<br>
6. Inji Pennu; Writer, activist<br>
<br>
7. Karuna John; Freelance journalist<br>
<br>
8. Kavita Krishnan; Secretary, All India Progressive Women’s Commission<br>
<br>
9. Meena Kandasamy; Poet, writer, activist<br>
<br>
10. Navrang S B; Former Head of Social Media, BJP<br>
<br>
11. Prabir Purkayastha; Editor, Newsclick<br>
<br>
12. Rajeev Chandrasekhar; Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha<br>
<br>
13. Rakshit Tandon; Cyber Security Expert and Consultant<br>
<br>
14. Ravish Kumar; News Anchor, NDTV India<br>
<br>
15. Rega Jha; Editor, BuzzFeed India<br>
<br>
16. Rohit Chopra; Associate Professor, Santa Clara University<br>
<br>
17. Saikat Datta; Journalist<br>
<br>
18. Sheeba Aslam; Journalist, scholar and Islamic writer<br>
<br>
In addition, the report offers overviews of existing state and non-state<br>
responses to online harassment, and takes stock of existing campaigns<br>
against online harassment and Indian stakeholders who are active in this<br>
domain. It finds, among others, that greater transparency and<br>
responsiveness in content moderation processes adopted by online speech<br>
platforms like social media websites, blogs, and discussion boards,<br>
along with renewed focus on capacity building for law enforcement agents<br>
could go a long way towards addressing the issue. Educating people about<br>
existing mechanisms for combating online harassment is highlighted as<br>
another area deserving attention.<br>
<br>
The report also details a number of measures that could be adopted by<br>
users of online speech platforms to guard themselves against online<br>
harassment and abuse, both in the form of general safeguards applicable<br>
to every-day Internet use, as well as responses when users are faced<br>
with targeted online harassment campaigns. It also lays out a set of<br>
draft best practices that could be adopted by online intermediaries to<br>
limit harassment on their networks, though these are mere suggestions at<br>
this stage that require substantial deliberation before they can be<br>
formalized.**<br>
