Summary | Shane Connolly, an assistant commissioner for the Australian police, said that in order to avoid becoming victims of revenge porn, people should just stop taking selfies. The author of the article does not agree and is tired of men who think that women are responsible of their own downfall. According to a research, 83% of us have already taken naked selfies. The problem is that we need a law that protects us when we're being abused.

Topic Tags | emojis, misunderstanding, sexting
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.

Sexting: A language our children must never learn

Topic Tags | abbreviations, childhood, sexting, technology-free, threat, youth
Summary | Youths are using abbreviations to keep their parents out of the loop like LMIRL (let's meet in real life). The police have published a list of these to help parents monitor their children. It is sad that children and teenagers have such low self-esteem that they do anything to receive validation from their digital peers. This is not just youth culture or rap music's fault but rather the parent's fault. They are always busy and spend too much time on their smartphone rather than gracing their children with face-to-face attention and smartphone-free activities.

The rise and rise of Whatsapp: 300 billion instant messages are expected to be sent throughout 2014 – and that’s just in the UK

Summary | Instant messaging has overtaken texting: The average British person sends just seven text messages a day compared to 46 instant messages. Popular apps are WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, and Viber. Many people have five messaging apps on their smartphones on average. The high amount of instant messaged sent can partly be explained by the flatrate cost rather than paying for every message individually. A Michigan University study shows that half of 18-24 year olds (over 3000 participants) engage in sexting.

Porn is now part of everyday life, say teenagers: Sexting is part of everyday life, say half of 18-year-olds

Topic Tags | pornography, sexting, threat, youth
Summary | 'Sexting' is only used in headline. Pornography is ubiqutous online. This is a huge problem because teenagers could receive the most part of their sexual education from pornography. This would likely lead boys to objectifying girls and girls to thinking that their value lies in their conforming to the body standards set by pornography. Teenagers need to be protected from unsolicited explicit material online and sex education should be improved.

Topic Tags | sexting, youth
Summary | Both the leaking of dozens of celebrity nudes by hacking of the iCloud and the new Cameron Diaz film “The Sex Tape” show that sexting is a really common phenomenon by now. The shock in the celebrity nude images leak really lies in the breach of privacy and not in the mere existence of such material. Middle-aged adults also participate in sexting: "It's like an animalistic peacock display that's filtered up from the teens.”
