Summary | A monk from Korea has gained a large following on Facebook and Twitter with short posts with life wisdoms. Many people respond to his preaching of mindfulness: the position that people should slow down and take the time to reflect on themselves and their emotional state without becoming obsessed. The monk thinks these little moments of mindfulness are nowadays more important than ever, when we tend not to interact with each other directly but only through smartphones.

Summary | Social media have a huge problem with trolling, cyberbullying, and sharing of criminal content. It is however extremely difficult for providers to find such content before it is reported or seen by many. Especially in verbal abuse, the line between joking and slander is blurred and human language is too messy to be able to flag down such instances with algorhythms.
