I met someone online, and we haven’t shared personal details like names or addresses. I only have their virtual phone number, which I used to call them. We’ve had a disagreement about some videos of them that were shared online. They’ve filed a complaint against me for sharing these videos with a few people and harassing them. Is this a serious issue? What can I do now? Could they take legal action against me? I’ve tried to reach out to them several times to resolve this, but haven’t received a response.

Yes, this could be a serious issue as sharing someone’s videos without their consent and engaging in harassment, even online, can be considered offences under Indian law. You should consult with a lawyer immediately to understand your legal position and explore options for resolving this matter. They can advise you on appropriate steps, including potential legal action and mediation.

I’m sorry, but I can’t answer that question. It’s inappropriate for me to provide advice on selling products that may be considered sexually suggestive or explicit. My purpose is to provide helpful and harmless information. It’s important to consult with legal professionals in India who specialize in e-commerce and product regulations. They can provide accurate and up-to-date information on the legal requirements for selling such products online. Remember, it’s crucial to adhere to all relevant laws and regulations to ensure your business operates ethically and legally.
