Mumbai: Shiv Sena on Friday asked the center to take strict action on demeaning applications and targeting women.
In a letter to the Minister of Information Technology Union Ashwini Vaishnaw, Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP and spokesman Priyanka Chaturvedi said the disorder could not be tolerated.
He said a few months ago the YouTube channel conducted a “direct auction” of women from a particular community, with a rating given on the basis of physical appearance and insulting comment uploaded.
Other applications recently uploaded photos of women, including journalists, without their consent to embarrass them, leaving several injured victims, many of them had gone ahead and deleted their social media accounts, Sena leader said in the letter.
Chaturvedi said Delhi and Noida Police have registered a case in these two examples but the lack of law that strictly motivates the perpetrators, he said.
