New Instagram Bug Raises Security Questions

I have noticed that a few of the people I know in the digital world have become ‘founding members’ of The Correspondent including myself. Meanwhile others wonder about it … so sharing this from and by Correspondent adviser Jay Rosen for the full ‘411’.
I wrote this article in June of this year, about a young man called Riley who survived the Sonoma fires a year ago.
