Summary | Thailand asked Facebook to withdraw 131 pages that contain "illegal" content (i.e. pages that violate strict laws concerning the royal family). Indeed, the royal family should not be criticized. One of the videos posted online showed the current king, Maha Vajiralongkorn, displaying his tattooed back and arms. Facebook accepted to withdraw the illegal content.

Summary | Richard Gerver, expert in education, lets his kids play video games to learn. Gerver claims that young people use new technologies to learn; they learn better if they feel involved. Today's education system is old-fashioned and boring; if we create something stimulating and fun, pupils will want to go to class.
