Internet has become a breeding ground for spineless trolls who badger women with indecent, malicious comments, or jilted ex-lovers who indulge in ‘revenge porn’ and easily get away with it. In the latest episode of his show ‘Last Week Tonight’, British comedian John Oliver had a 16-minute segment to discuss this growing menace. This topic has come under the spotlight after recent decision by the tech giant Google to remove websites that indulged in 'revenge porn' to be taken off from the search engine after requests from the victims.
The segment is extremely interesting for women, especially in US, who gain an insight into what they can do to if they are the victim of such attack (which isn’t much, really). And for men who perhaps have little idea of the trauma women go through for ‘making the mistake of having a thought in her mind and then vocalising it online.’
