In 2004, a multi-media
messanging (MMS) clip of two teenage students engaged
in a private sexual act was circulated and eventually
put
on sale by a third-party in a popular auction site.

Meanwhile, hundreds
of women are are catching street harassers red-handed
with their mobile phones, posting images of those who
leer, grope and more on a blogsite.

Stories and media attention on incidences
of violence against women often targets the woman. Stories
are sensationalised, sometimes sexualised. Instead
of condemning the abuser or perpetrator's action, survivors
are narrated to hold at least partial blame for the violence.

The internet is a powerful disseminator of norms
because of how quickly and widely it transmits information.
Just think of how quickly it managed to paint a picture
of how women in Afghanistan during the Taliban regime,
through photographs and video clips that were forwarded
from one person to another and many more.
