My letters - GitHub case: Ensuring stringent actions is the key

Well! This case requires no description! It is something that has horrified everybody. On the New year, scores of Muslim women woke up to find their photographs on a webpage, hosted on GitHub. This was done with the intention of selling them at auction. According to sources, this wasn't the first attempt; it happened last year in July as well. The Mumbai police have already detained three people suspected of being involved in the crime. However, there are speculations that these young people were aided in spreading hate by a more organized and larger group. This hate crime was committed with the intention of defaming Muslim women activists, professionals, and public figures. There seems to be a bigger nexus behind the webpage and such cyber crimes should be halted, this very instant. If the larger network that promotes such hatred is not brought to justice, the anonymity that the internet and social media provide will continue to incubate and even increase the frequency of such acts. The apt and the only viable solution, is not arresting, but taking swift and decisive actions.
