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.

Summary | The Daily Mail released a list of emojis with double meanings. Some seemingly innocent emojis might in fact have another X-rated meaning. For instance, the mailbox emoji can mean "sex". You can use any emoji to talk about sex, but some are being used more than others. For example, the eggplant emoji is now widely accepted as a way to represent a penis. Most emojis can have a double meaning; they can be interpreted at face value or mean something completely different.
