The Dark Side of Digital Freedom: A Case Study in Control and Coercion A recent case in Nagpur, India, has highlighted the darker side of digital freedom.
A 19 year old youth allegedly raped and assaulted a 16 year old girl after using mobile phone access, threats, and constant video calls to control her for nearly three months.
The term "digital arrest" is not a technical concept, but rather what happened in this case: a young woman was effectively held hostage by someone who exploited her trust online.
