25th March, Mumbai: In today’s world which has been made smaller by technology, new age problems have been born. No doubt technology has a lot of benefits; however, it also comes with a negative side. It has given birth to cyberbullying. To put it simply, cyberbullying refers to the misuse of information technology with the intention to harass others. Taking this into account award winning film director Vipin Agnihotri has come up with a campaign on cyberbullying titled “Stop It”.
“Cyberbullying comes in various forms. It doesn’t necessarily mean hacking someone’s profiles or posing to be someone else. It also includes posting negative comments about somebody or spreading rumors to defame someone. As everyone is caught up on the social network, it makes it very easy for anyone to misuse this access,” pointed out Vipin Agnihotri.
To ensure that this campaign reach to masses, involvement of celebrities is very important and that is where celebrities like Janhvi Kapoor comes in who are quite an inspiration for youngsters in general.
