There is a growing trend of people using a feature on the iPhone called AirDrop to send lewd pictures to unsuspecting strangers and its being called “cyber flashing.” It has become such a problem, that a bill was introduced last week by two members of the New York City Council that would punish people who send harassing and explicit photos with up to a year in jail or a $1000 fine. Issie Lapowsky, senior writer for Wired, joins us to discuss the AirDrop problem and how this law would even work. Next, CIA Director Gina Haspel has briefed Senators on their assessment that Saudia Arabia’s Crown Prince ordered and monitored the killing of journalist Jamaal Khashoggi, and they were not happy. Sen. Bob Corker said that if the crown prince was in front of a jury, he would be convicted in about 30 minutes. Gregg Hellman, defense reporter for Politico, joins us to discuss how we know the crown prince probably ordered the hit. Finally, microblogging site Tumblr has decided that it will delete all adult content from its platform and it has caused an uproar with the users who flocked to the site for its art positive and sex positive platform. This comes at a time when Tumblr has been removed from the Apple App store for some child pornography found on the service. My producer Miranda joins us for why some are saying this may be the end for Tumblr.
