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.

Summary | Scotland's government along with several prominent companies and personalities are trying to raise awareness about educating children about internet safety. Only few parents discuss problems of online safety such as pornography or sexting with their children. Most importantly, youths should be taught about what they can do when they encounter content online that upsets them, that they can approach an adult, various help organizations available, or report inappropriate content.

Summary | Recently Apple's iCloud was hacked and nude photographs of many female celebrities (Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst, ...) were publicly shared online. This attack on celebrity's personal privacy is compared to the Swiss scandal secretary who tweeted nude images of herself at her workplace. While the celebrity nude image leak is seen as vile abuse, the Swiss secretary's misfortune is seen as her own fault. It is naïve to expect to be able to keep a Twitter account with 11'000 followers secret from one's employer.
