BENGALURU: Videos you create and post on social media can land you in trouble as well. A 20-year-old

, who has a huge fan following on Tik-Tok, an app for creating and sharing

, learnt this after her posts were misused and misrepresented to troll her.

Vinutha (name changed), a computer science diploma student and resident of Anekal, has around 1.31 lakh followers and received eight lakh likes for her videos.

Things though turned nasty for the Tik-Tok star in January second week when her videos and photos were found in an obscene manner in some troll pages.

On January 25, Vinutha came across a video showing her as a porn star. The next day she uploaded a video on Instagram and Tik-Tok warning the troll page admins not to do so. However, her ‘video warning’ did not work, but worsened the situation. More misrepresentations followed on troll pages. She contacted the administrators on social media and asked them to take down her photos. She said they sought a video apology over her warning note but she declined. However, she took down the video.

After this, Vinutha lodged a complaint with cybercrime police.

Police said misrepresentation on social media like Facebook and Twitter has now spread to Tik-Tok, Dubsmash and other apps mainly used by youths.

“Tik-Tok is basically to showcase your acting skills in a creative manner. I was posting them for fun. A majority of my followers have appreciated my acting skills. But there were a few troll pages which manipulated the videos and photos and posted them on social media. I’m not going to quit the app; I’ll fight these trollers,” Vinutha said.
