image for New Texas laws: Illegal to send unsolicited nude photos

As states push to criminalize the sharing of intimate photos to get revenge on former sex partners, Texas is teaming with Bumble to crack down on people who send unsolicited nude images on dating apps and elsewhere in cyberspace.

The law set to take effect Saturday forbids what is often characterized as technology-enabled sexual harassment.

Meyer said the law targeting unwanted images will apply to text messages, email, dating apps and social media.

The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative reports that 46 states have laws tackling so-called revenge porn, but almost none combat unsolicited sexually explicit images.

Roche said Bumble understands enforcing the law will be a challenge, but the Texas legislation is intended to serve as a deterrent. »

Biochar: A better start to rain forest restoration

Authored by prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu

An indigenous farming technique that’s been around for thousands of years provides the basis for restoring rain forests stripped clear of trees by gold mining and other threats.

The problem is particularly acute in areas mined for alluvial gold deposits, which devastate not only rain forest trees but also soils.

High costs can be a huge barrier to replanting, fertilizing and nurturing trees to replace those lost in the rain forest. »
