No Security Regulations on IoT Devices? How to Help with this Problem?
Currently there is no government regulations on security for IoT Devices. What are the steps for one to enforce stricter security regulation on IoT devices in a country such as USA? As the future pushes forward with IoT devices, consumers will need to have a sense of trust in order to embrace IoT devices to create a better, safer and convenient way of life. By having the feeling of higher security regulation on IoT devices, consumers will have a better feeling knowing they're are protected.Any suggestions or opinions are welcome.

How does WhatsApp spam work?
I often get messages in whats app with a link to a purported deal or article. If I click on the link, the message would then be sent from my WhatsApp account to all my contacts. See this article for an example from a message I received today: http://ift.tt/2lIPLnNMy question is: How does this work? The link takes me to a webpage in safari, which then instructs WhatsApp to send messages. Is there a vulnerability in WhatsApp which allows this? Why would it ever be possible for WhatsApp to receive commands to send messages from safari?

How do I change my reddit user account email address?
Using my other reddit account, recently I saw a warning at the top of every page on reddit: "Uh oh! We have suspended your account due to suspicious activity. Not to worry. You can continue using Reddit by resetting your password."When I click the link to reset my password, it asks me to send a Password Reset email... but the email address that is pre-set (and not changeable in its text box) is not mine. It's a gmail account in the format of first.last@gmail.com with a Turkish man's name.I'm assuming my account was hacked and someone changed my email address but not my password.My username and password combo work just fine. I would just like to change my password without sending an email to a fraudulent email address I've never heard of, and I would not be able to answer anyway.

FaceID and depth camera security issues
A lot of people are concerned about how secure your face data is on the new iPhone X, I have some answers but I ain’t 100% sure, when setting up faceID for the first time it is then saved and encrypted on the Secure Enclave (SEP) and is left there, no apps can see these details except for some instances that I’ll explain in a bit. When apps ask you to unlock with your faceID then it is safe as it is an API that is linked to the system that uses the normal FaceID scan process and then it tells the app if it is really you or it failed to authorize your face, this is completely safe but If you use an app that can see your pictures (in other words is allowed to go through your pictures) then you are screwed as starting from iOS 11 apple added depth information in photos taken as portrait mode that exists only on the iPhone 7+,8+ and X. So if you took a portrait selfie of yourself then it will create a depth information in that picture and that app can read it, but you don’t need to worry as this won’t help them to unlock your device.(If you have anything question then feel free to ask me)
