When the Internet Turns Against You: A Story of Revenge, Pain, and Redemption

Aarohi (name changed) was 26, a bright marketing executive. She had left an unhealthy relationship months ago. But her ex hadn’t moved on.

One night, her phone buzzed.
Hundreds of messages.
She opened Instagram. Then Twitter.
Her world froze.

Her private video something intimate, recorded in trust had been leaked online.

Not just posted, but shared, mocked, edited, and distributed across adult forums, meme pages, Telegram groups.

People she didn’t know sent her messages.
Some said, “Are you for sale?”
Some said, “Slut. Attention seeker.”

She locked herself in her room for 4 days.
She didn’t go to work.
Her parents didn’t know how to face society.

She wasn’t ashamed of what she had done in love.
But she was broken by what had been done to her.

Karan was a 32-year-old fitness trainer.
He had broken up with a girl who had become possessive.

Months later, his nude pictures ones he had shared privately during the relationship were edited, captioned with filthy comments, and circulated in WhatsApp groups in his gym network.

The comments stung.

Trainer or p*rnstar?
What else does he offer in his packages?

But what hurt the most was this:
No one took him seriously.
Even close friends laughed it off.
“Bro, you’re lucky. At least girls are watching you.”

He felt naked.
Not just his body but his confidence, his purpose, his masculinit all stripped.

He began skipping the gym.
He stopped meeting clients.
He thought of quitting the city.

Whether it’s a woman or a man when private content is leaked, it’s not just a digital crime.
It’s a psychological assault.

Victims often develop panic attacks, self-harm tendencies, or social anxiety
They lose trust in people, systems, and themselves
Society responds with judgment instead of support
Victims blame themselve when they should be protected

India’s Legal Provisions:

Section 66E of the IT Act: Violation of privacy (3 years imprisonment)
Section 67A: Punishment for publishing sexually explicit content (5 years + fine)
IPC Section 354C: Voyeurism
Cyber Police / NCW / ICC: You can file a complaint, online or offline

But here’s the painful truth:
Even with laws, videos keep circulating.
Even with FIRs, Google results keep showing.
Even after years it doesn’t go away.

That’s when they both found SOHUM not through ads, but through someone who whispered:

They helped me. Try them.

Aarohi sent a one-line message: “I want to disappear from the internet. Please help.”

No questions. No forms. No judgement.

SOHUM worked like a digital rescue team:

Located every site, video, forum, and comment
Removed what could be removed
Suppressed what couldn’t be deleted
Reached out to platforms, moderators, and even Google
Helped with legal language and psychological healing resources

Within days, Aarohi could search her name without trembling.
Karan could look into the mirror again.

Not pity. But privacy.
Not silence. But solutions.
Not lectures. But action.

The pain of revenge content doesn’t go away in therapy alone.
It needs a digital shield, a silent protector, a SOHUM.

We don’t put our team’s photos on the website.
We don’t write about success stories in public.
Because for us, victory is when nothing is found about you online.

If someone has betrayed your trust, we will help you restore your dignity.

Not all wounds bleed. Some are digital. But we heal those too.

If you or someone you know is suffering silently, reach out.
Your story stays safe with us.
Your fight is ours now.

The people we served said “SOHUM you are best in removing deepfakes and revenge posts and thank you for being there !”
