Twitter issues outright ban for revenge porn

Twitter now expressly prohibits users from posting revenge porn and other non-consensual intimate photos on its service. The social network has been under pressure to address harassment and abuse rampant on their platform. It’s a good thing they’ve set actual changes on their terms of service. We’re hoping the application is swift.

According to Twitter, “You may not post intimate photos or videos that were taken or distributed without the subject’s consent.” Violating this policy could get your account locked.

Apple to remove Jawbone and Nike FuelBand health trackers from stores to make way for Apple Watch

Months after discontinuing sales of the FitBit trackers, Apple is reportedly removing Jawbone Up24 and Nike FuelBand devices from its stores to make way for Apple Watch displays. Space is a finite resource in Apple Retail Stores, so it makes sense that Apple will jettison third party products in favour of their latest product. Retail Stores are expected to receive an overhaul to accomodate the unique display and selling of Apple Watch devices and straps.
