A group of twenty women has filed a lawsuit against American ride-sharing service Lyft, alleging they were sexually assaulted or raped by Lyft drivers. The suit is in addition to a previous one filed in September, where fourteen unnamed women accused the company of not doing enough to protect female passengers using the service. The new lawsuit alleges that Lyft was aware of sexual predators operating it's service, but did little to address the problem, and instead hid the extent of sexual assault issues. Lyft has not stated how it will fight the lawsuit, but has issued a statement of how it will attempt to improve the safety of female passengers.

Facebook-owned social media platform Instagram will now ask new users to provide their birthday when signing up to use the service. The company says this has been done to recommend appropriate privacy settings and provide in-app information about staying safe online based on the age of a user. Along with this change, Instagram will now also let people block messages from people they don't follow, and allow business and creator accounts to restrict minors from viewing their posts. While the platform said it won't verify birthdays, Instagram already uses artificial intelligence to scan user posts to predict their age and gender.
