Something of a concern to many of you no doubt

BREAKING NEWS: Twitter advises all of its more than 330 million users to change their passwords as it discloses password-storage glitch that exposed them in clear text on its internal systems. Twitter says it has no evidence the passwords were stolen or misused.

This is the official version:

Twitter support @ twittersupport
We recently found a bug that stored passwords unmasked in an internal log. We fixed the bug and have no indication of a breach or misuse by anyone. As a precaution, consider changing your password on all services where you’ve used this password.

I have separate passwords for everything.

I don't know how

Google "Change Twitter password". There's a link where you can then ask to reset it via your email or phone.

I logged in to change my Twitter password, but while I was in the account settings it struck me that I'd do better to delete the account instead.

What a lovely feeling. Like spring cleaning for the soul. No more support from me so long as they allow men to abuse women with impunity, while punishing women harshly for lesser offences.

No more supporting the Labour Party when they have decided not to support women.

I cancelled my Amnesty International direct debit as soon as they voted to come out in support the sex industry, because the people being degraded and traumatised by that foul trade aren't important enough to count. Not when there are so many fine upstanding men lining up eager for their turn to pay-to-rape.

What next? Anyone have suggestions for charities and organisations that can be trusted to put the interests of women and girls first?
