Uber ’obtained rape victim’s medical records’ – BBC News
An Uber executive obtained the medical records of a woman who said she was raped by a driver of the taxi-app firm in India, according to a report.Eric Alexander, who ran Uber’s business in Asia, is said to have shared the records with the company’s chief executive, Travis Kalanick, over a year ago.Uber confirmed to the BBC that Mr Alexander no longer worked at the firm – but offered no further comment.Technology news site Recode said Mr Alexander was fired only after the publication contacted the company about the story.It said as well as Mr Kalanick, the records were seen by the company’s senior vice president, Emil Mochael.Recode’s report detailed how Uber was reportedly considering the prospect that the rape claim was concocted by rival Indian ride-sharing company, Ola, as part of a smear campaign.On Thursday, Ola told the BBC’s Shilpa Kannan the allegations were ”despicable”.”It is a shame that the privacy and morals of a woman have to be questioned in an attempt to trivialise a horrific crime,” a spokesman for Ola said in an email.

iOS 11 Makes it Easy to Share Your Wi-Fi Password With Nearby Friends – Mac Rumors
With the developer beta of iOS 11 out in the wild, new features of the operating system have been coming to light throughout the week, including an unobtrusive volume indicator and new AirPods controls. In iOS 11, users will also be able to easily join a Wi-Fi network thanks to a new password sharing process between trusted devices, whoch should reduce the hassle of joining new networks. The feature allows one iOS device with knowledge of a Wi-Fi network’s password to grant access to a separate iOS device that still needs the password in question. 9to5Mac detailed an example where an iPad was already on a Wi-Fi network, while an iPhone still required the Wi-Fi password to connect. All devices must be running iOS 11, and it appears that macOS High Sierra will support the feature as well.

Content about Labour is dominating Twitter in the run-up to the general election, according to a new study from the University of Oxfords Internet Institute.The researchers, who have been tracking the changes in activity over time, looked at traffic on Twitter over the final week of May to identify trends around political engagement, ultimately cataloguing almost 2.5m tweets spread over a number of election-related hashtags.They found that the number of posts using Labour-related hashtags dwarfed those featuring content about other parties, ultimately making up 62% of all tweets mentioning a specific party. This was up from 40% at the start of the month. Labour support spiked highest during the debate programmes that occurred during that week: the back-to-back Q&A with May and Corbyn on 28 May, the general election debate on 31 May that the Prime Minister declined to attend, and Question Time on 2 June featuring the two leaders.
