Critics are crying foul after men in Saudi Arabia began receiving unwanted text messages about women’s international whereabouts.

In Saudi Arabia, every woman needs to have a male ‘guardian.’ The guardian is traditionally a woman’s father, husband or brother.

And since 2010, the government has had an opt-in program for these “guardians” to receive a text message whenever a woman, of whom they’re a guardian, leaves the country.

Most employees are happy if they could switch to using an Apple iPhone instead of a BlackBerry. Facebook, however, is taking a step further by asking its workers to switch to Android.

As it is right now, many corporations are switching from employee-hated BlackBerry phones to iPhones. Employees, managers and IT departments have realized that the iPhone will get the job done, even if there’s no clicky QWERTY keypad to thumb away at.

But it seems Facebook is a step ahead as it tries to get Android phones in the hands of its employees.

American Thanksgiving has smashed records over at photo sharing network Instagram.

According to a blog post from Instagram, they saw record-breaking traffic as users shared Thanksgiving-related photos with other users on the image-centric social network.

In total, 10 million Thanksgiving-related images were shared on Thursday.

Breaking it down throughout the day, about 200 Thanksgiving-related photos were being shared per second during peak hours. Instagram actually reached a max of 226 Thanksgiving photos per second at 12:40 p.m. Pacific (3:40 Eastern) as users shared photos with family and friends.

Previously, Instagram's most active moments were during superstorm Sandy.

According to Mashable, about 1.3 million Sandy-related photos were posted to Instagram on a specific day.

If you're still wondering what makes Instagram so popular, here's an explainer: It's a social network where users share square format photos. Not just any photos, but pictures that have had special artistic and photographic filters applied to them.

Oddly enough, Instagram is now actually owned by Facebook.

Don't have Facebook? Grab the app for Android or Apple devices.
