Summary | Shane Connolly, an assistant commissioner for the Australian police, said that in order to avoid becoming victims of revenge porn, people should just stop taking selfies. The author of the article does not agree and is tired of men who think that women are responsible of their own downfall. According to a research, 83% of us have already taken naked selfies. The problem is that we need a law that protects us when we're being abused.

Summary | There are patterns of how people present themselves on Tinder. Most use selfies. They say a lot about being single: not only is one alone in the picture but usually also alone in taking the picture using a mirror for instance. Many people try to appear less lonely by posting pictures with animals. Women very often do the so-called duckface so as to emphasize all desirable features like cheekbones and full lips and often write that they expect the men to contact them first.
