The major goal of this campaign is to raise social awareness on the responsible use of social media and internet.
The Chennai city police commissioner, Mr. Viswanathan expressed his thoughts after the video launching and spoke about how young girls and women must know about the dangers of sharing their personal information and pictures online.
