Kashmiri Advocate Muneer Najar Leads Crusade Against Vulgar Content on Social Media
In a bold and commendable initiative, Muneer Najar, a young advocate from Kashmir, has emerged as a leading voice in the fight against vulgar, abusive, and explicit content on social media platforms in the region. His campaign, which involves filing formal complaints and initiating legal action against social media accounts that promote nudity and obscenity, has drawn widespread public support and admiration.
Concerned about the growing influence of inappropriate content on the youth, Najar took it upon himself to report dozens of pages and profiles to relevant authorities, including law enforcement and platform regulators. His efforts have already resulted in the removal of multiple offensive accounts from Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), setting a new precedent for digital accountability in Kashmir.
Speaking to the press, Najar emphasized the urgent need to maintain cultural integrity and moral standards, especially in a region like Kashmir that holds deep-rooted social and traditional values. “Social media has become a double-edged sword. While it connects people, it’s also being misused to spread obscenity and abuse. Someone had to act,” he stated.
Locals have lauded his initiative, with many parents and educators expressing relief at someone finally addressing the issue that has long been a concern. “We were worried about what our children were seeing online,” said a teacher in Srinagar. “Muneer Najar is doing what authorities should have done a long time ago.”
Legal experts also recognize the significance of Najar’s actions, calling them a timely intervention in the battle to keep digital platforms respectful and lawful. His approach follows due legal process, relying on provisions of the Information Technology Act and cybercrime laws, ensuring that the movement is not just social but firmly grounded in jurisprudence.
Najar has hinted at expanding his efforts in collaboration with cyber cells and digital rights organizations, with plans to launch awareness campaigns and digital literacy workshops aimed at young social media users.
As Kashmir navigates the complexities of the digital age, advocates like Muneer Najar are showing that individual action, backed by law and community support, can make a real difference.
