Tamil Nadu Politics Turns Ugly: Vijay Abuse Row, AI Posts And Online Trolling Of Women

Tamil Nadu’s political trolling row has intensified after a DMK woman councillor was seen abusing Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay in the presence of DMK MP Kanimozhi, who condemned the remarks. Meanwhile, Chennai Mayor R Priya has flagged alleged AI-generated social media posts targeting her and questioned the TVK government over the lack of action. State Minister Keerthana has also faced online trolling, including comments about her attire. The controversy has renewed concerns about the growing use of social media to target women in politics and public life. Regardless of political affiliations, online harassment deserves scrutiny and accountability.
