“…For the purpose of this research, cyber violence is defined as the perpetration of gender-based harms and abuse through digital and technological means by strangers and intimate partners (Backe et al, 2018). Other terms used to describe online harms on digital platforms and through technology are cyber abuse (Altobelli, 2010; David & Schmidt, 2016), online victimisation (Halder & Jaishankar, 2014; Marret & Choo, 2017), cybercrime (Halder, 2015; Halder & Jaishankar, 2011), cyber aggression (Watkins et al, 2018; Wright, 2015) and technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) (Henry & Powell, 2015). As such, it has a number of manifestations, which will be considered in this study; gender-based hate speech, also referred to as e-bile (sexually abusive discourse online; Jane, 2014a; Jane, 2014b; Vitis & Gilmour, 2017), image-based abuse (non-consensual creation and distribution of images; McGlynn & Rackley, 2017; Powell et al, 2018), non-consensual sexting (Bluett-Boyd et al, 2013; Powell, 2010; Powell & Henry, 2017; Woodlock, 2014) and cyberstalking (to stalk or harass someone online; Barak, 2005; Citron, 2014).…”

With the advent of the digital age and online networks, a new facet of human experience materialised called the cyberspace. In other words, it is an addition to an individual’s intrapsychic world. Millions of people are using the Internet as a day-to-day activity to enhance their lives while at the same time there are people who are using it for anti-social purposes such as stalking, harassing, bullying and so on. This, with the advent of the Internet, has become a new weapon of abuse. This research intends to bring the two realms of virtual and physical, which are considered as binaries into a productive dialogue on violence against women. In doing so, it takes forward the narratives of cyber violence survivors into rethinking the construction of disembodied and embodied violence. I pursue this aim by exploring how women survivors of India conceptualise and respond to cyber violence. This is a qualitative exploratory study located within the theoretical framework of feminist standpoint theory in order to engage each survivor’s story from their individual standpoint. An in-depth interview was conducted for 30 women survivors in India. This study will help to critically understand cyber violence as an embodied experience.

“…Such fan frenzies may fall directly in the category of cyber crimes against women as has been explained by (Halder, Jaishankar, 2011). It is essentially so because in the course of victimisation, women actors may face infringement of privacy, may have to face criminal intimidation, may be 'consumed' as 'female sex objects' without their wish, and thereby may be subjected to 'visual victimisation' online (Halder, Jaishankar, 2014). This article argues that while effects of fan frenzies on still and audio-visual images of the Hollywood film stars have been researched upon by several researchers including Lipton (2010), Rolph (2010) and Cianfagilone (2011) from the Copy Right laws point of view, rarely any studies have been made on the effects of fan frenzies to Hollywood and Bollywood female cine actors from the perspectives of cyber crimes targeting women.…”

W ith the advent of internet and digital communication technology, online crimes targeting celebrities have gained a momentum. This article argues that, among the celebrities, actresses of Hollywood and Bollywood are particularly targeted online mainly because of their sex appeal and easy availability of contents including their images, video clippings, their private geo-location information, etc. The perpetrators are mostly fans who may wish to view the actresses as sex symbols. This article suggests that production houses should take primary responsibilities to prevent such victimisation and the actors themselves may avail legal policies such as right to be forgotten to approach the internet companies including search engines like Google to prevent victimisation and remove the offensive contents.
