Summary | Privacy expert Mark Weinstein shares some tips to protect your privacy online: use safe internet browsers, be careful where you search (for instance, Google saves all of your searches), WhatsApp is not as private as what you might think, use a cloud storage that can't see your information, etc. We should be worried about our privacy in the future as governments are trying to get backdoor access to apps and digital devices. Millennials seem to be the ones that are most concerned about their online privacy.

Die Frau, die ungewollt mit Emojis ein Haus mietete
(The woman who inadvertently rented a house with emojis)

Topic Tags | emojis, language threat, law, misunderstanding
Summary | The debate around whether emojis count as words or seriously meaningful content is very heated - not only in academics but also in law. The Oxford English dictionary only reheated that fire by choosing an emoji as word of the year. Multiple law cases have centered on misunderstandings around emoji use, most recently a case where a woman indicated interest in renting a house with emojis (flamenco dancer, dancer girls, squirrel, comet, a victory sign, and a bottle of Champagne). The house owner sued her for using misleading emojis after she decided not to rent the house after all.

"Die Flut der Zeichen ist enorm"

Summary | The production of signs is in a stage of unprecedented proliferation - everyone partakes in textual production online and so the amount of meaningful signs out there is larger than ever. This is quite interesting with respect to emojis because we have only just started coming up with conventions of their use. We are still negotiating how emoji use can be codified. It is common to think, for instance, that a response without emoji to a message with emoji indicates negative feelings.
