  • 'Don't spend time on unreal life': Bidapa

Prasad Bidapa, fashion stylist, who participated in the Cyber Crimes Conclave 2024 urged youth to observe digital fasting and also, fact-check things. 

On Digital fasting  

“If you spend a lot of time on social media, you will have no life of your own at all. So every person in this world, should also have self-discipline. I urge people not to compromise their real life for unreal life. That brings us into a lot of people. So I urge people to put a reminder on their phones.”

On deepfakes

He said, “Many people have become a lot suspicious. So many are resorting to fact-checking. Many organisations are coming forward and telling people not to believe anything just like that. 

On negativity online

“The rapid pace of news and scandals can make it feel pointless to fight back against negativity online. Victims of cyberattacks often feel helpless, particularly when dealing with false content or harassment. While taking initial action like reporting and denials are important, sometimes the best long-term strategy is to avoid overthinking, move on, and focus on the positive.”
