A Conservative MP has called for ‘cyber-flashing’ to be made a criminal offence to stop Britons sending X-rated snaps to strangers using the AirDrop function on their iPhones.
Cyber-flashing is when a person is sent an unsolicited sexual image on their mobile device by a stranger nearby through AirDrop, a file-sharing function on iPhones.
Victims are often targeted on public transport due to the technology’s short range.
