Sophia Albarakbah exposes brutal online abuse
Sharing several screenshots of sexual harassments and cyberbullying that she received over the course of the past week, the actress said that she has been receiving thousands of messages and comments, from harassment, slander, insult and even threats.
"Some may think it's small but to me, these words cut deep. They hurt, they affect my emotions, and they damage my dignity as a woman and as a human being," she said.
As for the screenshots, Sophia said that they were only a small part of it.
"There are many more that are far worse. I'm not sharing to shame anyone, but to show the reality of what happens online. This is why I took action. Because silent doesn't change anything," she added.
Sophia said that she decided to go to the police not to exact revenge but to protect her safety and dignity.
"To everyone who has been through the same thing, you are not alone. And to those still spreading hate, remember that your words can leave scars that never heal," she added.

Andrew Lloyd Webber Is Turning ‘Phantom of the Opera' Into an Anime Epic
First came Masquerade, an immersive production of The Phantom of the Opera. Now Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group has announced a rebrand and a slate of new franchise expansions for the musical maestro's universe of stories. Including… anime? Deadline reports that the company, now known as LW Entertainment, has plans for a Phantom of the Opera anime, an idea so wild it's bound to work. And it's not completely out of left field: Sailor Moon's Tuxedo Mask is already so Phantom-coded. (We hope they get Phantom stage icon Ramin Karimloo to voice the 2D Eric.) Qubic Pictures' Justin Leach (Star Wars: Visions, Leviathan) is overseeing the project. In a statement to Deadline, Leech said, 'I'm incredibly excited to join forces with the talented team at LW Entertainment to bring The Phantom of the Opera to life through anime. This project is a rare opportunity to unite the grandeur of musical theatre with the artistry of Japanese animation—two beloved traditions that have touched audiences around the world. Our goal is to create a timeless and emotionally resonant experience that speaks to a global audience and honors the legacy of this iconic story.' The anime is just one element in, as LW Entertainment told the trade, 'significant, global plans for The Phantom of the Opera over the coming years across live theater, film, publishing, music, and many other areas.' If ever a property was suited for the current YA romantasy trend in publishing, it's this, so look for a first collaboration with Penguin Random House in the form of Our Strange Duet ('a reimagining of the Gothic love story that will bring a new voice to Christine Daaé, a central part of the Phantom canon') next year. What are your thoughts on Phantanime of the Operanime? Let us know in the comments below. Want more io9 news?

'Barbaric criminals': ICE removes slew of Southeast Asian nationals convicted of serious crimes
FIRST ON FOX: Several Laotian illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes were deported back to the Southeast Asian country on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security announced. Each of the 12 already had orders of removal placed on them by a federal immigration judge, including some dating back to 2003. "Obstructing a murder investigation, child sex crimes, and drug trafficking: These were just a few of the crimes these heinous illegal aliens committed in our country. Now—thanks to the brave men and women of ICE law enforcement—these barbaric criminals are OUT of our country and can no longer prey on American citizens," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. "Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, America is no longer a safe haven for the world's criminals. Despite a historic number of injunctions from activist judges, ICE continues to remove criminal illegal aliens from America's streets," McLaughlin added. Sai Vang, 39, was convicted of "aiding and obstructing an investigation of first-degree murder" and is a gang member. Sokhorn Ngem, 56, was convicted of "first-degree criminal sexual conduct" and "distributing sexually explicit material to a minor." Lue Kong, 43, is convicted of "first-degree criminal sexual conduct" with a child under 13 years old. Seng Kghang, 8, is convicted of "third-degree criminal sexual conduct" with a child between the ages of 13 to 15. Wa Kong Lor, 33, was convicted for "breaking and entering" a vehicle in order to steal, as well as weapon and drug offenses. Su Yang, 47, was convicted of robbery in Toledo, Ohio. Fue Yang, 45, was convicted of "second-degree home invasion," "breaking and entering a vehicle to steal property," illegally "driving away" in a vehicle, and hiding stolen items he obtained. Meanwhile, Soun Vongrasamy, 64, was convicted on cocaine-related offenses. Bounthavy Phenglavanh, 45, was convicted for the delivery or manufacturing of ecstasy. Pang Ngia Hang, 54, was convicted on bank fraud charges. Sengaroun Phenglavanh, 47, was convicted on multiple drug and firearm offenses. Phouvanh Manivong, 51, was convicted on "felony attempted larceny and felony grand larceny" charges. The Trump administration is continuing to tout the arrests and subsequent deportations of those with criminal convictions and charges. Meanwhile, DHS has been encouraging self-deportations by offering $1,000 and free travel outside of the U.S. for illegal immigrants without additional criminal backgrounds for a chance to possibly come back to the country legally.

Even Salman Khan couldn't save India's crypto scene
Even Salman Khan couldn't save India's crypto scene originally appeared on TheStreet. For two years running, India has topped the world in grassroots crypto adoption, according to Chainalysis. Estimates suggest between 90 and 100 million Indians have owned or used cryptocurrency — roughly 6 to 7% of the country's 1.4 billion people. The only country to see higher crypto trading volumes over that period? The United States. On paper, India looks like a crypto powerhouse. In reality, the market is suffocating. Trading volumes on Indian exchanges have cratered since the government introduced a punishing tax regime in 2022: a flat 30% tax on gains, no offsetting losses, and a 1% tax deducted at source (TDS) on every trade. The industry operates in a gray zone — not banned, but not officially recognized as legal tender — with the Reserve Bank of India maintaining a skeptical stance, as per CNBC TV18. The result is a curious paradox: millions of Indians hold crypto, but much of the real trading action has gone offshore. Those who remain in the domestic market often find themselves trapped between enthusiasm and exhaustion. And if there was ever a project to bridge India's pop culture dominance with its crypto curiosity, it was BollyCoin. Bollywood meets the blockchain In 2021, filmmaker Atul Agnihotri — with none other than Salman Khan as the face of the brand — launched BollyCoin with the promise to 'bring Bollywood to the blockchain.' The concept was irresistible: digital collectibles from classic Hindi films, official partnerships with production houses like Salman Khan Films and Arbaaz Khan Productions, and the megastar himself posting, 'Kya aap excited ho? [Are you excited] Salman Khan Static NFTs coming on @bollycoin'. Fans were. Reports show BollyCoin sold its entire pre-sale of 20 million tokens in just 30 days, raising about $2 million. Its first NFT drop featured scenes and assets from the Dabangg franchise, one of Salman's biggest hits. The token (BOLLY) ran on Ethereum's ERC-20 standard and later bridged to Polygon for lower transaction fees. The total supply was set at 100 million, and holders could use BOLLY tokens to buy NFTs on the platform. In 2022, the team introduced a 'lock-in' staking scheme where holders could lock tokens for up to 24 months in exchange for monthly USDT payouts. They even launched a 'Bolly Council' governance system, allowing the community to vote on project direction. For a while, it worked. BollyCoin was the perfect storm of Bollywood glamor and blockchain hype. Until it wasn't. At press time, BollyCoin's official website was defunct. The last post made by the project on their Instagram account dates back to July 2024. Fade to black Within a year, marketplace trading volumes collapsed, and the BOLLY token lost more than 90% of its value. By late 2022, the dream of Bollywood's NFT empire had evaporated. It wasn't alone. In the same year, the cricket-themed NFT platform Rario, backed by cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, was riding high on fan engagement. Players like Arshdeep Singh even launched their own digital collectibles on Rario. But with the NFT market's global cooldown and India's domestic tax squeeze, momentum faded fast. Other Indian crypto ventures met a similar fate. NanoHealthCare Token (NHCT), launched in 2018 to revolutionize healthcare with blockchain, was abandoned by April 2020. By 2023, dozens of play-to-earn gaming projects had shuttered after failing to sustain token economies. TheStreet Roundtable reached out to both Rario and BollyCoin for comment but had not received a response by the time of publication. The failures aren't just about bad business models — they're about operating in an environment designed to discourage crypto innovation. The regulatory squeeze Since April 2022, every crypto transaction in India — even swapping one coin for another — has attracted a 1% TDS. The 30% tax on profits mirrors the highest slab rate for gambling winnings. Losses can't be offset against gains, meaning one bad trade can erase the benefit of several good ones for tax purposes. The government defends these rules as necessary for transparency and tracking, but industry leaders warn they're killing the domestic market. According to the Esya Centre, a Delhi-based policy think tank, Indian exchanges lost over 81% of their trading volumes in the months after TDS was introduced. Many traders simply moved to offshore platforms that don't enforce Indian tax rules. Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India maintains its stance that cryptocurrencies pose risks to financial stability. There's no roadmap for regulation that might legitimize the industry, leaving projects like BollyCoin in limbo. India's 30% tax on crypto gains pulled in about $32.4 million in financial year 2022 to 2023 and $52.7 million in financial year 2023 to 2024, despite no clear regulations for the sector. Data for 2024 to 2025 isn't available yet, as filings are still underway. Bollywood couldn't beat the blockade BollyCoin's collapse says as much about India's crypto climate as it does about the fickle nature of NFT hype cycles. From 2021 to 2025, the trading volume of the NFT market decreased by 93%. Even with Salman Khan's star power and a built-in Bollywood fanbase, the project couldn't escape the gravity of declining NFT interest, low domestic liquidity, and high barriers to participation. When India's grassroots adoption numbers are so high, you'd expect more homegrown crypto success stories. But the few that have tried — from Bollywood NFTs to cricket collectibles — have mostly fizzled. Not because Indians aren't interested, but because the environment doesn't reward sticking around. The irony is sharp: India is a global leader in Web3 talent, with its developers powering major projects abroad, yet its domestic crypto economy is locked in survival mode. And it's also a reminder: mass adoption doesn't always mean mass participation. Tens of millions of Indians may own crypto, but until the rules change, the country's biggest crypto plays will keep premiering somewhere else. After all, if even Salman Khan couldn't keep the cameras rolling, what chance does anyone else have?
