Indian American Council Warns of Online Threats
A group called the Indian American Advocacy Council is worried about mean and scary posts online that target Indian Americans.
These posts say bad things will happen to Indians in the US in 2026.
The group thinks these posts could make real people get hurt and wants the police and social media to do something about it.
One person who made a post like this, named Matt Forney, deleted it after people got upset.
The group says these posts are not just politics or jokes; they are dangerous and could lead to violence.
They want everyone to know that this kind of talk is not okay and should not be allowed.
The Indian American Advocacy Council (IAAC) has raised concerns over online posts targeting Indian Americans, warning of potential real-world violence.
A post by Matt Forney on X (formerly Twitter) predicted anti-Indian violence in 2026, blaming black, Latino, or Pakistani perpetrators, and was later deleted.
IAAC has urged the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to investigate the public activity of individuals promoting violence online.
The group has also asked X to remove violent posts and suspend users who repeatedly break the rules.
IAAC condemns the rhetoric as dangerous and inciting, putting real people at risk, and thanks Americans who have stood up for the Indian American community.
