Pakistani actress Armeena Khan is very vocal when it comes to social media toxicity. She believes that social media is a place for everybody but trolls shouldn’t be allowed to deny other people’s space by ‘poisoning platforms’.
Taking to her Instagram, Armeena shared an excerpt from her interview with Eastern Eye, where she talked about her career, values and principles.
Talking about internet trolls, the Janaan actress said,
“Ah, the trolls. Who are these people? What families breed such beings? I am a result of a very polite upbringing, so it was shocking initially. This is one of the downsides of the internet.”
When she was asked about how she deals with them, Armeena had a lot to share.
“You see social media should be safe space for young people, especially little girls, to be inspired, to learn and connect with role models. Trolls disrupt this function. They seek to deny others space by poisoning platforms.“
Armeena Khan believes that social media should be a safe space, especially for young girls. She also called out social media platforms for their loose monitoring policies which, according to her, empowers internet trolls to put others down.
“Why should a misogynistic scumbag with mummy issues shut down a little girl from accessing freely available avenues? Social media companies are failing in their duty to modulate this incessant troll activity on their platforms.”
