She wrote: “Waited too long for you to apologize. Really wanted to show the world your face and the kind of crap you wrote. I have a full-size picture of yours but I decided not to disclose it in order to give you a second chance, but I hope after sharing this screenshot of yours you will never approach a woman like this ever again in your life.”
With this bold statement, Sanam Jung hopes to send a clear message about respecting others online. By sharing her experience, she hopes it will prevent others from engaging in similar behaviour. She also called for more awareness of online harassment and the impact it can have on individuals, particularly women.
