Online Harassment and Instagram Content Removal Follow CJP Protests in India
Following the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests, several women protesters faced online harassment, including doxxing and threats, with some legal actions initiated against them. Concurrently, Instagram removed numerous posts and accounts related to the movement, citing government orders under IT laws, though the process lacked transparency. The censorship occurred shortly after the protests, which were largely youth-driven and amplified via social media, raising concerns about freedom of expression and state accountability.
