Cyber Defamation in India
2

• Way back in nineties, around one lakh people
  were able to log on to Internet globally.
• As of now, millions of people are hooked up to
  surf the net.
• This is a cause to express criminal tendencies
  than before. In a way, cyber space creates moral,
  civil and criminal wrongs.
• As you may know, crime is no way limited toa
  group of people, spaceor time. The law is as
  tough as its enforcement. Legal provisions must
  provide assurance to its users andempowerment to
  lawenforcement agencies. Success in any field of
  human activity can bring crime.
• Even now many IT professionals lack awareness
  and interest in cyber defamation in India.
• Interestingly law enforcement officers have
  lacked the tools to fix the problem. There are
  only a few court precedents for the officers to
  look for guidance.
• Everything is in a mess up in this field. Old
  laws didnt fit for the crimes being committed
  now.
• Moreover, privacy issues are a hindrance to
  gather the evidence in order to prosecute the new
  cases. There is a need of cooperation among the
  law enforcement agencies and IT professionals.

• The first stepis to sort all the actsthat can be
  considered as cybercrimes into organized
  categories for specifically defining individual
  cybercrimes.
• This unity can bring the Internet users to a
  safer side and crimes can be reduced.
