Social media allows people to show their talent and express themselves to others. It also helps people with disabilities amplify their voices. Sadly, however, it also exposes them to online harassment and trolling. Instagram user Shray Rai Tiwari highlighted such an incident in his recent video. He also posted what he did after he saw a man trolling a differently abled person over his singing video.
“This video is slightly different from the content I generally post. I saw a video of a guy roasting or trolling another guy. The difference is that this kid has special needs. I was very disappointed. Everyone tried to tell this guy to take the video off, but in the business of views, likes, and shares, he is milking it,” Tiwari wrote.

He shared that he got in touch with the singer, Anurag Rawat, and expressed how everyone is supporting him. “He is disturbed, but he is brave,” Tiwari added.
He ended his video by urging everyone to go to Rawat’s profile and drop a heart emoji in his DM to let him know that he is appreciated and should ignore the trolls.
