Are social media firms hindering investigations?
By MYBRANDBOOK
A recent data published by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) revealed a rife in cases of crime using social media accounts tripling over the past two years. In some cases, derogatory remarks or comments are posted by an accused to defame the complainant.
With a substantial rise in the number of cyber crimes, social media is highly abused as a platform to commit them. The delay in response from leading internet and social networking companies, such as Google, Facebook and GoDaddy, is a cause for concern when it comes to seeking evidence from them. Police said, the more there is a delay, the more notorious individuals would misuse their platforms.
In several instances, the social media companies do not count the damage to reputation caused by fake profiles, rumours or uploading of videos of individuals in intimate acts without their consent. When approached for information, the companies take anywhere between 15 and 60 days or even more to provide the needed information. The urgency is often not understood. In the case of defamatory comments, by the time the firm responds, there is little reputation left to salvage.
