Project idea
editWhat is the problem you're trying to solve?
editOften harassment is misunderstood for trivial issues and for others freedom of expression. The aim is to study about different levels of harassment and its effects and remedies.
What is your solution?
editThrough this idea we might be able to address harassment in some context and to find solution systematically. By identifying impersonation as the main harassment, the account of the impersonator may be found and terminated permanently.
Project goals
editImpersonation can be identified from feeds from different users and from the activity and signing up of the accused account. Later the posts or pictures of the accounts may be compared along with the dates of its posting. From this the harassing account may be identified to an extent and dealt with.
