Summary | Instagram creator Kevin Systrom has created the most popular image-sharing social media platform world-wide. In Systrom's vision, Instagram could partly play the role that traditional news media pla today. To report of significant events as they are enfolding. Already, Instagram posts are printed in newspapers if no reporter was present on site. Facebook has bought the company for one billion dollars.

Summary | A WhatsApp chain message is going around offering people free holiday emojis. A link directs them to a dodgy website where they type in their phone number and service provider. Instead of getting free emojis however one is signed up for an expensive subscription with hardly any possibility to quit. People should be careful with content they receive and spread through WhatsApp.
