What is Facebook image morphing

Cases of miscreants copying photos of people from social media sites, morphing them and then circulating on Instagram and WhatsApp are rising in the city.
The police have registered several cases of identity theft, harassment and cyber bullying on these two social media platforms.
On Sunday, Neha (name changed), a fourth-year engineering student at a private university, approached the Bajaj Nagar police.
Accompanied by her friend, she registered a complaint against an unknown person for copying her image and posting it on an adult page on Instagram.
“It took me four days to muster courage to file a complaint with the police. The morphed photo was first noticed by my friend and by now, it has been circulated among a few of my friends,” said Neha.

ALMOST a year after the Supreme Court brought the Internet within the contours of free speech by striking down the much-abused Section 66A of the Information Technology Act, two youths were arrested in Madhya Pradesh for sharing online a morphed image of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.

On a complaint stating that the duo had hurt sentiments of Hindus, Shakir Yunus Banthia, a 22-year-old from Bhikangaon, and Vasim Shaikh, a 21-year-old from Khargone, were arrested for sharing an image combining Bhagwat’s torso with that of a woman’s body clad in brown pants.
