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 | Recently the news story about a company called Cambridge Analytica made waves: they claimed to have extracted an accurate psychological profile of all adult US citizens based on their Facebook likes. The company uses those profiles to target very specific audiences with political advertising. Such rigorous profiling based on data that was not willingly given for the purposes of such analysis would be illegal in Europe.
