  • Reddit, Google Crack Down on Posting Nude Pics SAN FRANCISCO — Feb 24, 2015, 8:03 PM ET by MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writer
    HOME> TECHNOLOGY Reddit, Google Crack Down on Posting Nude Pics SAN FRANCISCO — Feb 24, 2015, 8:03 PM ET By MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writer S hare 0 Share on email 5 Comments Reddit and Google are taking a tougher stance against nudity to prevent their services from turning into online peep shows. Social-networking and news site Reddit says it will remove photos, videos and links with explicit content if the person in the image hasn't given permission for it to be posted. Google Inc., the Internet's most powerful company, is going to ban most nude photos and video from publicly accessible sites on its popular Blogger service. The crackdown marks a shift in attitude for two services that have traditionally been freewheeling forums where users could literally let it all hang out. The lax approach has opened the door for nude and sexually explicit photos and video to be posted on Reddit and Blogger, even if the subjects featured in the images intended them to remain private. Until now, Reddit has had a hands-off approach to privacy, largely allowing its 160 million users to police their own forums within certain guidelines such as no child pornography or spam. The change comes about six months after hackers obtained nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities and posted them to social media sites including Reddit and Twitter. Without specifically calling out Reddit or Twitter, Lawrence lashed out at the sites that permitted nude photos to be posted of her. She likened the unauthorized use of photos of her body as a "sex crime." A Tuesday posting signed by Reddit interim CEO Ellen Pao and other company executives said the shift is an effort to help grow the site "for the next 10 years and beyond." Effective March 10, Reddit will prohibit any photograph, video or digital image of a person who is nude or engaged in a sexual act if the subject hasn't given permission for it to be used.

    -“Both Spectacular and Unremarkable” Letter of Allegation regarding the Excessive Use of Force and Discrimination by the Philadelphia Police Department in response to Black Lives Matter protests in May and June of 2020 Prepared and submitted by the Andy and Gwen Stern Community Lawyering Clinic of the Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law and the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania as a Joint Submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. Much of the credit for this submission belongs to the volunteers who spent countless hours investigating and documenting the events recounted here, as well as interviewing witnesses and victims, editing, and repeatedly verifying the accuracy of this submission. We thank Cal Barnett-Mayotte, Jeremy Gradwohl, Connor Hayes, Tue Ho, Bren Jeffries, Ryan Nasino, Juan Palacio Moreno, Lena Popkin, Katie Princivalle, Caitlin Rooney, Abbie Starker, Ceara Thacker, and William Walker.

Given Philadelphia’s own history of racially discriminatory policing, it was expected and appropriate that such protests would happen here as well.

  • Tech Workplaces-Based on a Case Study of Ellen Pao V. Kleiner
    Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 118 International Conference on Management Science and Industrial Economy (MSIE 2019) Asian American Women Face the Bamboo Ceiling in American High- Tech Workplaces-Based on a case study of Ellen Pao v. Kleiner Perkins Leyi Cao Nanjing Foreign Language School, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, 210000, China [email protected] Keywords: Asian American women, Bamboo ceiling, US high-tech workplaces, Intersectionality. Abstract. In the 21st century, Asian American women, as a group, are considered to face certain barriers-the bamboo ceiling in US high-tech workplaces specifically. The existence of such barriers and the choice of action toward the barriers become what people concern most about. Based on these issues, this paper first analyzes data to reveal the overview of the current situation of Asian American women in American High-Tech workplaces and are shown from comparisons between different social groups. Moreover, the paper also discusses a specific case raised by an individual Asian American Women against her employer company. Based on further analysis of the case, which is combined with the concept of intersectionality, the paper suggests more considerations of intersectionality and encourages more actions of Asian American women fighting for equality. 1.Introduction The glass ceiling faced by Asian Americans in current US workplaces is often recognized as the bamboo ceiling, referring to the practices that keep Asians from entering higher-paying, and more prominent jobs. By further considering Asian American women as a social group, intersectionality, in this paper, is employed to recognizing the intersection of race and gender in this issue.
