Summary | Many doctors often consult with each other when they are unsure how to treat a patient. This becomes a problem when they share images of patients without their consent on unsafe platforms such as WhatsApp. Now a safer platform has been developed where registered doctors can pool their expertise. Especially doctors working with refugees who don't speak their language find this incredibly useful.

Summary | Scotland's government along with several prominent companies and personalities are trying to raise awareness about educating children about internet safety. Only few parents discuss problems of online safety such as pornography or sexting with their children. Most importantly, youths should be taught about what they can do when they encounter content online that upsets them, that they can approach an adult, various help organizations available, or report inappropriate content.

Topic Tags | politics, pornography, sexting, WhatsApp
Summary | Switzerland saw two nude selfie scandals in and around politics this summer. A secretary working in the parlamentarian offices had been tweeting nude selfies taken on the premises. Parlamentarian and city mayor of Baden in Switzerland, Geri Müller, had been sexting with an online friend via WhatsApp, including an abundance of written messages and nude selfies. The Swiss public had been debating whether Müller's #selfiegate should have been newsworthy at all. What ultimately emerges is a double standard: the secretary lost her job within days and the mayor is still representing the Swiss people in parliament.
