They also suggested an anti-forwarding technology to be implemented on the app to prevent immediate leaks of intimate or nude photos. Their team was one of the four winners of Hackathon for a Better World. The theme for this year's competition was tackling online harms, especially against women and girls. Speaking at the virtual awards ceremony on Thursday Oct 28 , Minister of State for Communications and Information Tan Kiat How said: "The risk of exposure to online harms and threats have increased significantly, especially in the new normal of learning, working and socialising from home. Events such as this hackathon are an important avenue to bring together like-minded individuals from all walks of lives Organised by DBS Bank, the Singapore judiciary and the Ministry of Communications and Information, the hackathon saw 28 teams come up with solutions to foster a safer online space for women and girls over a two-month period from July The four SMU students in team Go Women, whose proposal won the Most Innovative Idea Award, said they joined the hackathon to help women who were victims of leaked nude photos and to prevent such leaks from happening to others.

Organizers hope the installation will draw attention to the importance of preserving the Dead Sea. The salty body of water at the earth's lowest point has been steadily shrinking in recent decades as Israel and its neighbors have diverted upstream water sources for agriculture. The Tourism Ministry said it hoped the artistic installation would draw visitors to the area. Israel has been largely closed off to foreign travelers since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic but is gradually welcoming back vaccinated visitors as its caseload declines.
Young people jailed for posting online sexually suggestive pictures taken in Moscow, St Petersburg and elsewhere. Police have launched a wave of investigations against young people, mainly women, in recent weeks for taking partially nude or sexually suggestive photographs next to Russian landmarks. Bobiev, a blogger from Tajikistan, was also ordered to be deported from Russia. Other women have been detained for flashing their buttocks or breasts in front of public landmarks or police stations in various cities including St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg in cases that stretch back to August. Several of those investigated said they were not responsible for the material being put online. The cases, which have often been pursued by conservative activists who have complained to the police, mark another step forward in the policing of social networks and the willingness of the authorities to use severe punishments against apolitical Instagram stars and influencers. While a judge chose to jail two members of the punk protest group Pussy Riot in for two years after a performance in a Moscow cathedral , many of the recent cases are far less politicised, and appear to be driven by greater attention to Instagram accounts used by ordinary Russians.
