Summary | A former police chief said that Muslims should use social media such as Facebook and WhatsApp to let everyone know how they feel about terrorism (i.e. that they denounce it). It seems that people don't believe Imams anymore, so Muslims should start a social media call to action.

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.
