Summary | All children learn that they should beware of dangerous men on playgrounds but few parents include the same warning about digital playgrounds. Multiple cases are known in Germany where children were contacted by paedosexuals online through chat functions in online multi-player games and coaxed into sharing information, nude images, and meeting up resulting in sexual abuse.

Summary | Social media have messed with our sense of privacy. Celebrities can now address their fans from a seemingly private realm of self-orchestrated social media presence and regular people can become famous very quickly when they embarrass themselves enough on social media. Additionally, one can be made famous on social media by cyberbullies and previous partners by sharing "revenge porn" (nudes shared during a romantic relationship) after a breakup. The general tenor on all social media sites entails schadenfreude (rejoicing over other people's misfortune) - whether it be directed towards celebrities' faux-pas or normal people.
