Tucked away in an estate in Buckinghamshire, England, is a 19th-century mansion. You wouldn’t be able to tell from the outside, but this mansion, named Bletchley Park, was the central home to Alan Turing’s team of WWII codebreakers, the team of cryptographers who were able to decipher the German Enigma and Lorenz ciphers. The intelligence gained from these ciphers had a drastic effect on WWII’s outcome: “My own conclusion is that it shortened the war by not less than two years and probably by four years,” said the official historian of British Intelligence, Sir Harry Hinsley, in a 1993 lecture…

For the ongoing series, Code Word, we’re exploring if — and how — technology can protect individuals against sexual assault and harassment, and how it can help and support survivors. There’s no questioning that sex workers face judgement and stigma, as well as blatant, systematic discrimination. In media, they’re punished for their nonconforming sexuality by being victimized, criminalized, or slut-shamed. And despite the arrival of a new era of feminist activism, it seems that yet again, feminism has left the rights of sex workers behind.“To be honest I feel like not much has changed in the adult industry since the…
