Summary | Babel Street is a startup that uses online surveillance; they try to get private information from online platforms in order to catch cybercriminals. For instance, police departments might use the service provided by the company in their investigations and scan posts online. Experts try to track dangerous criminals while analyzing posts in more than 200 languages, including the emoji language. Emoji has actually been a challenge for analysts. Another challenge the company faces is to make sure sure it doesn't violate people's privacy.

Summary | The new iPhone X has a new safety feature. Instead of the finger print, it scans the face of the user to unlock or transfer payments on Apple Pay. The face scanner is 3D so that it cannot be tricket with a photograph of the owner. It is artificially intelligent and can recognize the device owner despite different hairstyles, beards, glasses, and so on. The face scanner can also find an emoji which mimicks the users facial expression.

Summary | Nowadays, people don't take the time to "think" and go from one emotion to another very quickly, especially on social media. For instance, Facebook introduced its "reaction" buttons. Today, it seems that a laughing emoji is worth a long speech. Facebook can also gather its users' personal information thanks to the reaction buttons. Our communication is now based on emotions, which can be dangerous.
