OBAMA END GAY CONVERSION THERAPY

US President Barack Obama has condemned psychiatric therapies designed to "repair" gay, lesbian and transgender youth.

Mr Obama's statement was in response to an online petition calling for a ban on conversion therapies. It gained over 120,000 signatures in three months.

The petition was inspired by Leelah Alcorn, a 17-year-old transgender youth who committed suicide in December.

Some conservative groups and religious doctors support conversion therapy.

"We share your concern about its potentially devastating effects on the lives of transgender as well as gay, lesbian, bisexual, and queer youth," White House adviser Valerie Jarrett wrote in response to the petition.

"As part of our dedication to protecting America's youth, this administration supports efforts to ban the use of conversion therapy for minors."

Vigils were held after Ms Alcorn committed suicide in December

Counselling and prayer is used in conversion therapy to help some Christians deal with gay urges.

"We believe that change is still possible. People go to therapy because they can change, because it really does work," David Pickup, a family therapist in California and Texas, told the New York Times. "We help people grow into their authentic selves."

But mental health groups and gay rights activists say it can increase the risk of depression or suicide.

The US states of California and New Jersey have banned the practices. But other conservative states such as Oklahoma are considering legislation to protect the therapies from legal challenges.

While the White House is not explicitly calling for congressional legislation to ban the therapies nationwide, Mara Keisling, the executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, welcomed Mr Obama's statement.

"Having President Obama and the weight of the White House behind efforts to ban conversion therapy is so critical in the fight for transgender and LGBT young people," Ms Keisling said.

In the letter posted on Tumblr, Ms Alcorn said she killed herself after years of struggling with her strict Christian parents' refusal to acknowledge her true identity as a female.

She ended her note with a plea: "The only way I will rest in peace is if one day transgender people aren't treated the way I was... My death needs to mean something. Fix society. Please."

APPLE RELEASES iCLOUD PHOTO APP

Apple has released a new photo storage app for Macs, which can automatically store full-resolution images online.

The iCloud Photo Library syncs photos across devices while managing storage.

Users can opt to keep original high-res photos in the cloud with lower-res version on a Mac, PC or iOS device.

But critics highlight recent online photo security breaches and say Apple's storage fees are much higher than some of its competitors.

The iCloud Photo Library app responds to how much storage is left on each device.

It automatically downgrades the resolution of images held on a device as its storage space starts to run out - starting with the oldest images first - while ensuring they are still of suitable quality to be viewed full-screen.

'Targeted attacks'

If the user has a data connection and has chosen the online storage option for their full-res images, the app will download the larger original file as and when they need it. This could be for editing, zooming into the photo or for printing, for example.

Hackers stole celebrities' photos from iCloud last year

Some experts wonder whether Apple's users are ready to trust the company with their photos after about 500 private pictures, mainly of celebrities, were stolen from the iCloud platform by hackers last year.

Apple later explained that this had happened as the result of a targeted attack in which the intruders had successfully obtained or guessed users passwords to its service, rather than hacked the platform.

Last October, Apple issued another security warning to its iCloud users, saying: "We're aware of intermittent organised network attacks using insecure certificates to obtain user information." It said its own servers had not been compromised.

Martin Garner, mobile services expert at CCS Insight, said: "People are sharing enormous trust when they use services like these. It's not just Apple - many other providers have also suffered breaches recently. But users will need to think about security and accessibility."

'Keep an eye on prices'

Many online storage providers offer cheaper plans for the same or more data to be stored online than Apple's iCloud.

However, each offers different functionality regarding how it syncs with devices, and whether it works automatically or needs user intervention

Apple iCloud compared with other online storage providers

The iCloud Photo Library is the first to keep a lower-res image on the device while sending the original full-res image to the cloud.

Unlike a simple back-up or copying of photos, this means users can keep the images on their devices while maximising storage space.

However, many consumers may still prefer deals such as Amazon's "Unlimited Photos plan", which would cost a fraction of the price to maintain a large library.

"Apple will have to keep an eye on prices as the market in online storage is extremely competitive," said Mr Garner.

"Many of its competitors, like Dropbox, have apps available on the iPhone, so it needs to be wary that users do have a good amount of choice.

"Some services like Microsoft and Amazon also bundle online storage with other services like software subscriptions or movie streaming, so Apple may need to consider doing likewise."

FACEBOOK FACES PRIVACY CLASS ACTION

Facebook is being sued by some 25,000 users for alleged violations of European privacy laws in a class action suit due in a Vienna court later.

 

The claim, led by Austrian data protection campaigner Max Schrems, focuses on the way Facebook collects and forwards data.

It has been brought against Facebook's European headquarters in Dublin, which registers all accounts outside the US and Canada.

Facebook are yet to make any comment on the case.

More than 900 UK-based users of the site are involved in bringing the case.

The legal action also claims privacy laws are breached in the way the networking giant monitors users when they use the site's "like" buttons.

Mr Schrems, a law graduate, wants to stop what he calls mass surveillance by the social networking site.

He also alleges the company co-operated with Prism, a surveillance system launched in 2007 by the US National Security Agency.

The case includes a compensation claim of about €500 ($539;£362) per person.

Mr Schrems has said that Facebook does not believe the case is admissible under Austrian law.
