Privacy

Bluesky, the rising social networking platform, has just added a feature many users wanted: private bookmarks. Called “Saved Posts,” the feature brings a more discreet way to collect posts for later, separating them from the public “likes” that everyone can see.

Lovense, a leading manufacturer of internet-connected sex toys, has been caught up in a major security controversy after researchers revealed two serious flaws: one that leaks users’ private email addresses and another allowing accounts to be hijacked—potentially affecting more than 20 million users worldwide. These vulnerabilities, which persisted despite months of warnings, have significant privacy and safety implications, especially for sex workers and other users who rely on anonymity.
