I heard in Tech show that now, google and yahoo have made it compulsory for users to provide their phone numbers to open mail accounts. And I am very glad about it.
Not only will it reduce the spam mails. But it will also help women. Social networking sites like facebook ask your mail id to open accounts.
And men out of spite, anger or sheer maleficence, create an account in the name of some woman and post vulgar photos and videos in them.
In a country like ours, we can only guess, what effect it may have in the woman's life. I am not telling the story from some "crime story" episode or something. I have seen an account with obscene photos and the person forgot and gave the gender as male.
So at least now, if the mail account can be tracked to a phone number, one can hope that such persons will be slightly scared that they may be caught.
Next step which will help women would be if Facebook which is so common in India, should also make it compulsory for users to provide phone numbers for verification.
