Victorian social media

British people relive the Victorian era via twitter; sarcasm about honesty and bravery trend on India social media and the sites that want us to share our sex lives with others.

In this week鈥檚 programme presented by Anne-Marie Tomchak, we find out why Delhi鈥檚 chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, is attracting so many jokes on Indian social media about his honesty and bravery. A new conversation in Britain around the hashtag #VictorianFacebook attempts to revive the Victorian era. We hear how the Victorians themselves would have been more familiar with social media than we may think.

And a naughty trend on social media: the new sites that want us to share our sex interests and lives with one another. But sharing sexual content online has its pitfalls as the victims of revenge porn known too well.

With Neha Bhatnagar, Matthew Sweet and Estelle Doyle in the studio.
