## Resource

Nepal’s Prime Minister Balendra Shah is cracking down on online abuse targeting flood survivors, declaring that anyone who mocks or belittles victims will face criminal charges with no leniency. In response to heartbreaking stories of families searching for missing loved ones—only to be met with cruel online attacks—the government is tracking IP addresses and phone numbers to identify trolls. A special 10-member committee has been formed to investigate, and under Nepal’s Electronic Transactions Act, offenders could face up to five years in prison and a fine of 100,000 rupees. Experts say some attacks may be “rage baiting” or from overly zealous supporters, but the government is sending a clear message: digital cruelty during crises won’t be tolerated.
