Thousands of women have had intrusive photographs, taken of themselves without their knowledge, circulated on Twitter for years. Covert photos taken of women on beaches, public transport and elsewhere have been shared to two hashtags for several years with apparent impunity. The images predominately focus on the womens breasts and buttocks, but in many, their faces are visible. Some appear to be underage. Guardian Australia has chosen not to name the hashtags so as not to compound the violation of the womens privacy. Yevgeniya Ivanyutenko, a Twitter user based in Montreal, Canada, came across the hashtags by accident in early June. She referred them to Twitters @Support account and called on her followers to do the same.

Mossberg: I just deleted half my iPhone apps you should too
Over the past few days, Ive methodically deleted 165 apps from my iPhone, about 54 percent of the 305 apps I had on the phone when I started culling the herd. When I was done, I had significantly decreased the phones clutter: Id gone from 15 home screens to eight, and reclaimed nearly 8GB of free space, about a 24 percent gain in my case.Let me admit right away that these numbers are outliers, and probably are a lot larger than yours. Why? Because Im a tech reviewer. Its my job to test apps, among other things. So I download a lot of them. Also, because of my job, I always buy smartphones with the maximum amount of memory in this case, an iPhone 6S with 128GB of storage so Im not as conscientious about deleting apps and other files as quickly as a typical user might be to protect their 16GB of storage.
