Hyderabad: With an aim to regulate social media misuse, ensuring content adherence to legal, moral and public standards, Telangana State Commission for Women Chairperson Nerella Sharada issued a few guidelines on Monday.
A series of disturbing events in the recent past concerning a video of a father-daughter duo have come to light. The Commission was responsible for safeguarding the women and their interests, she said in a statement.

As an ‘Influencer’, an individual was expected to fulfill the responsibility that comes with the followers and use the ‘influence’ for the right cause. As subjective the definition of ‘comedy’ or ‘dark comedy’ could be, the individual is expected to have an understanding of where to draw the line, she said in listing out the guidelines.
