It's shocking how hard some... no, MOST sign-in required mobile apps make it to logout.
I'm loaning a device out and I needed to make sure none of my login sessions would be retained. It took me 20 minutes to logout of everything. #Instagram was particularly infuriating because there are two separate and buried steps to ensure you're truly logged out then every time I tried to logout, it asked if I wanted it to remember my login. I kept accidentally hitting Yes, which meant just opening up the app put me right back where I started.

I saw on #Instagram that some fans were saying "so beating up women is okay, but gambling is where the line gets drawn?"
Beating up women is bad, but it doesn't affect the on-court play in the same way that beating a woman does. Throwing games destroys the integrity of the product; beating your wife does not.
It looked at 372 people with Instagram accounts and 100 without, with an average age of 44.
First they were asked how much they used the platform to interact, browse, and broadcast.
Then they were asked to fill out a questionnaire to assess their levels of anxiety, depression and loneliness.
It concluded that 'adults who use Instagram are no more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression or loneliness than that those who don't'.
Buried deep at the end of the 7,000-word study, however, it revealed the study's authors, Professor Thomas Pollet and Dr Sam Roberts, had received funding from 'Facebook Research'.
Instagram will start blurring nude images sent to minors, in a crackdown against teen "sextortion."
As @theverge reports, the new safety measures will be turned on worldwide for users under 18, along with warnings to discourage users from sending them.
