Mumbai: Bollywood star Swara Bhasker has disclosed that there may have been a hack into her X account.
The “Veere De Wedding” star wrote on Instagram on Friday. “And now… it would seem someone has hacked my Twitter/X account!” It said, “Update More drama with my X account. (sic)” on the first picture.
The text in the following image reads. “They locked me out of my account on 30th January. Due to a copyright violation charge that I have appealed against.” I then attempted, but failed, to reset my password and get back into my X account. After that, I received an email stating that someone had disabled two-factor authentication. And on January 31st, I got an email. Stating that an unidentified user had accepted a delegation offer from my handle. And was now able to publish, send direct messages, and create lists and groups.
After her account was blocked due to suspected copyright breaches, Swara criticized X in a previous post. She explained the reasons for the suspension in a thorough post. Pointing out that one of the flagged photographs included the well-known phrase. From India’s progressive movement, “Gandhi Hum Sharmindaa Hain, Tere Qaatil Zindagi Hain, (sic).” The actor also defended the image’s use, saying it was a modern, urban folk idiom that was free of copyright.
Swara posted a screenshot of her suspended X account along with the caption. “This is not something you can make up. Greetings, X. The platform has flagged a pair of tweets, including two photographs, as “copyright infringements.” “I cannot access my X account because they have locked or disabled it.” And your teams have authorized a permanent suspension. One with Hindi lettering and an orange backdrop. “Gandhi Hum Sharmindaa hain, Tere qaatil zindagi hain” is a well-known slogan. Of the progressive movement in India, written in Devnaagri script. No copyright is being violated. It is comparable to a modern urban folk idiom.
“The second image recognized as a violation is an image of MY OWN child with her face hidden. Waving an Indian flag and writing ‘HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY India,'” she added in her tweet. How could there possibly be a copyright violation here? Who owns the copyright to my child’s image? Any reasonable, logical, and impartial interpretation of any legal definition of copyright would find both of these arguments. The harasser intends to target me with these tweets. And stifle my right to free speech and expression if they have widely publicized them. Please go back and change your mind. (sic)
