A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit concerning the software X (formerly Twitter) uses to find illegal porn images. The suit was brought by Mark Martell, who objected to X using Microsoft's PhotoDNA software. Martell argued that PhotoDNA—which is used across the tech industry to detect and report child porn—required the collection of biometric data and that this collection violated Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). A win for Martell could have imperiled the use of PhotoDNA and similar software by all sorts of tech companies, thwarting tools that have proved useful in fighting ...

In Germany the penalty for the distribution of child pornography has been reformed once again, after massive criticism from experts. Germany's lower house of parliament, the Bundestag, lowered the minimum sentence for distribution from one year to six months late on Thursday evening, and to three months for accessing and possessing such material.

Washington (AFP) - When Ellis, a 14-year-old from Texas, woke up one October morning with several missed calls and texts, they were all about the same thing: nude images of her circulating on social media.
