How can we safeguard ourselves against such offence?
Morphing can cause social stigma and can have damaging effect on you. It is therefore important to understand the measures that can help you stay safe.
- Enable your security and privacy features on social media accounts
- Never share your personal pictures online publicly on social media accounts
- Use watermark while sharing pictures
- Use two factor authentication with strong passwords for your social media accounts.
- Save the evidence and the screen shots for referring to the incident later.
- Don’t suffer in silence, know that you are not alone, reach out and seek help from trusted family and friends.
- If you observe your fake profile or any such objectionable post on social media, report on the social media help centre about it.
