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.
