10 things in tech you need to know today
1. Apple Pay is launching in the UK on July 14. There will be a £20 limit on transactions - but this should rise in Autumn.
2. A petition to have Ellen Pao removed as the CEO of Reddit has gained more than 100,000 signatures in 3 days. Last week, popular Reddit employee Victoria Taylor was let go suddenly - prompting a wave of huge protests from volunteer moderators, shutting down hundreds of the site's most popular communities.
3. Surveillance software company Hacking Team has been hacked. The Italian company provides law enforcement with tools for spying on suspects. 400GB of internal data including source data, emails, and other documents have been leaked online.
4. A decentralised media company is coming, venture capitalist Fred Wilson predicts. Wilson thinks that someone is soon likely to build a censorship-resistant media company using the blockchain technology that underpins bitcoin - making it almost impossible to shut down. He made the comments after the recent protests that have engulfed Reddit.
5. Hilary Clinton has accused China of "hacking into everything that doesn't move." The Presidential candidate was referring to the recent Office of Personnel Management (OPM) hack, in which millions of Americans' sensitive information was compromised.
