Recently,
Alia
Bhatt's
sister
Shaheen
Bhatt
shared
a
series
of
strong-worded
posts,
in
which
she
said
that
she
will
not
choose
to
ignore
rape
threats,
harassment
and
hate
messages
on
social
media
henceforth.
Shaheen
also
promised
to
take
legal
action
against
such
offenders.
Now,
Soni
Razdan,
mother
of
Alia
and
Shaheen
Bhatt,
has
backed
her
daughter's
fight
against
online
harassers
and
internet
abusers.
The
actress
also
slammed
Instagram
for
failing
to
curb
abuse
and
harassment
on
social
media.
'Social
Media
Has
Now
Become
The
Most
Anti-Social
Media,'
Says
Soni
Razdan
Soni
captioned
her
post
as,
"@instagram
I
do
hope
you're
reading
this
and
taking
some
note
of
it.
Because
it
really
gets
to
the
root
of
the
issue.
So
easy
na
to
let
the
abusers
off
the
hook.
To
let
yourself
off
the
hook.
To
let
the
onus
fall
on
the
abused
to
take
action
to
protect
themselves.
It's
basically
and
fundamentally
ALL
WRONG.
And
it's
high
time
it
was
stopped
at
the
source
itself.
And
the
stinking
abusers
get
their
just
desserts.
Social
media
has
for
too
long
now
become
the
most
antisocial
media
mainly
because
those
running
the
platforms
are
not
doing
enough
to
prevent
abuse."
Soni
Razdan
Asks
Instagram
To
Redefine
Their
Zero
Tolerance
Policies
In
her
post,
Soni
wrote,
"To
@Instagram-
you
have
zero
tolerance
policies
for
a
lot
of
the
content
that
put
up
on
your
platform-
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
misogynistic
slurs,
intended
to
subdue
and
oppress
*should*
fall
under
the
umbrella
of
your
zero
tolerance
guidelines."
'I
Should
Not
Have
To
Change
The
Way
I
Use
A
Platform
If
Someone
Is
Being
Abusive;
They
Should,'
Says
Soni
Razdan
She
further
wrote,
"But
if
you
don't
want
to
receive
abusive
message
turn
off
your
message
turn
off
your
message
requests.
Tired
of
being
called
a
bitch
in
your
comments?
Turn
off
your
comments.
Asking
me
to
change
the
way
I
use
a
platform
because
of
someone
else's
hatred
and
misogyny
is
the
equivalent
of
telling
me
that
if
I
go
out
at
night
and
get
assaulted
"I
was
asking
for
it." I
should
not
have
to
change
the
way
I
use
a
platform
if
someone
is
being
abusive.
They
should.
Full
stop."
Pooja
Bhatt
Agrees
With
Soni
Razdan's
Post
The
Sadak
2
actress
commented,
"I
completely
agree.
@instagram
needs
to
have
a
good,hard
look
at
their
policies.
The
trolls
who
spew
venom
in
the
name
of
others
need
to
be
brought
to
book."
A
few
weeks
ago,
Bollywood
actress
Sonam
Kapoor
had
also
called
out
Instagram
for
failing
to
block
death
threats
made
against
her
producer-sister
Rhea
Kapoor
on
the
social
media
platform.
