Summary | Facebook and other social media have a huge problem with inappropriate or criminal content being posted to their platforms. Recently, a man in Ohio posted a video to Facebook of him shooting and killing a man. It took Facebook two hours to take it down. So far, artificial intelligence algorithms have been very successful in detecting nudity/pornography and blocking it but finding violent content is still very much dependent on user action.

Summary | A list of popular messengers is analyzed in terms of how well they protect their users' privacy. The safest one is Signal and many others have end-to-end encryption, for instance WhatsApp. They still collect the metadata though (interlocutors, time of interaction, location). Some even save the content that is sent around - most shockingly Snapchat which is popular becuase it supposedly leaves no trace. Some messengers supposedly have ties with national security ministries, like Telegram in Russia and Viber in Israel. Apple recently refused to work with the FBI in giving away a customer's personal information.
