One of the most notable "improvements" in this landscape is the evolution of India's legal and regulatory response. In the early 2000s, when the first major scandals broke—most notably the 2004 DPS RK Puram case—the legal system was largely unequipped to handle digital privacy violations. Since then, the Information Technology (IT) Act of 2000 has been significantly amended. Sections like 66E (punishment for violation of privacy) and 67A (punishment for publishing sexually explicit material) now provide specific avenues for prosecution. This shift from a legal vacuum to a structured framework has empowered victims to seek justice and acted as a deterrent against the non-consensual sharing of private content.
