Whistleblower: Bullying on Instagram follows kids home
From CNN's Aditi Sangal
Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen told Senate lawmakers that Instagram has changed home lives for children.
"The kids who are bullied on Instagram, the bullying follows them home. It follows them into their bedrooms. The last thing they see before they go to bed at night is someone being cruel to them. Or the first thing in the morning is someone being cruel to them. Kids are learning that their own friends, people who they care about, are cruel to them," she said.
This could potentially impact their domestic relationships as they grow older, Haugen added.
Taiwan president warns of ‘catastrophic consequences’ if island falls to China
Tsai Ing-wen says Taiwan will ‘do whatever it takes to defend itself’ against an increasingly assertive Beijing
Taiwan is committed to defending its democracy against an increasingly aggressive China, the island’s president has vowed, warning of “catastrophic consequences” for the region should it fall.
The comments from Tsai Ing-wen, in an essay published on Tuesday, came amid record-breaking incursions by Chinese warplanes into its air defence zone. On Tuesday Taiwan’s premier, Su Tseng-chang, said the “over the top” activity violated regional peace, and Taiwan needed to be on alert.
China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has sent nearly 150 planes into Taiwan’s air defence identification (ADIZ) zone in the first four days of October, in what mainland figures and media have labeled a demonstration of strength but which world governments condemned as an act of intimidation and aggression.

Girls return to schools in Afghan province, remain barred elsewhere
Girls have returned to some secondary schools in a northern province of Afghanistan,Taliban officials and teachers said on Tuesday, but they remain barred from classrooms in much of the country.
The new hardline government also announced at a stage-managed rally that some women civil servants have been called back to work and a backlog of salaries would be paid, signs the Islamists may be trying to soften their public image after 50 days in power.
A video posted by the group's spokesman Suhail Shaheen showed dozens of schoolgirls in black, some wearing white head scarves and others with black face veils, sat in chairs waving Taliban flags.
NWSL controversy explained: Top coach accused of luring players into sex and bribing them to kiss each other for his pleasure
Meredith Cash
The National Women's Soccer League - where the majority of the US Women's National Team players compete domestically - is in disarray following a bombshell report outlining allegations of sexual abuse levied against a longtime head coach in the league.
Former North Carolina Courage coach and two-time NWSL Coach of the Year Paul Riley was widely regarded as one of the league's foremost coaching minds. But behind the scenes, he was leveraging his position of authority to lure players into his bed, coerce them into sex, and force them to kiss one another for his pleasure, according to the allegations.
Guatemala: Anti-vaccine villagers attack and hold nurses with Covid jabs
Anti-vaccine residents in a village in rural Guatemala have attacked nurses who were trying to administer Covid-19 jabs, holding them for seven hours, officials say.
About 500 people blocked a road and vandalised the team's cars in Maguilá, in the northern Alta Verapaz province.
The 11 workers were released after police negotiated with the villagers, who destroyed about 50 vaccine doses.
Authorities say online disinformation is feeding resistance to the vaccines.
