Abstract

Social media usage and internet penetration have significantly expanded nationwide since the launch of the Digital India program, promoting social and economic development. But this digital growth has also led to a dramatic increase in cybercrimes, especially on social networking sites. In the context of Digital India, this research paper conducts an analytical analysis of the rise in cybercrimes, paying particular attention to social media abuse. It looks at the characteristics, origins, and trends of cybercrimes include financial fraud, identity theft, cyberstalking, online harassment, and the spread of false information. The paper assesses court interpretations and enforcement issues while critically analyzing the current legislative framework, particularly the Information Technology Act of 2000. It highlights the main weaknesses brought on by a lack of cybersecurity measures, a lack of digital literacy, and the ever-changing nature of cyberthreats. The study identifies weaknesses in the current regulatory and preventive systems using case studies and data analysis. In order to handle the new hazards, it also suggests extensive reforms that include technological, legal, and pedagogical measures. In order to protect the goals of the Digital India program, the results highlight the urgent need for a balanced strategy that fosters digital innovation while maintaining strong cybersecurity.
