KARACHI: The Digital Rights Foundation (DRF) has reported a 189 percent increase in cyber-harassment complaints registered with their helpline during Pakistan’s coronavirus lockdown.
In this regard, the not-for-profit organisation issued a press release today (Wednesday). The press release said, “As Pakistan entered its lockdown [in March] in response to the Covid-19 outbreak, we feared there would be an increase in cyber-harassment cases as well as cyber attacks in general.”
Following a massive bump in cyber harassment cases being reported to our Helpline during the lockdown (March and April 2020), we at DRF are written out a policy brief, which includes recommendations, keeping in mind #COVID_19.
