Summary | Two Saudi women were sentenced to 10 days in prison and 20 lashes because they used bad language on WhatsApp. Saudi Arabia has been condemned numerous times for violating human and women's rights, and restricting freedom of expression. For instance, the game Pokemon Go was banned because it is similar to gambling.

Summary | Switzerland saw two nude selfie scandals in and around politics this summer. A secretary working in the parlamentarian offices had been tweeting nude selfies taken on the premises. Parlamentarian and city mayor of Baden in Switzerland, Geri Müller, had been sexting with an online friend via WhatsApp, including an abundance of written messages and nude selfies. The Swiss public had been debating whether Müller's #selfiegate should have been newsworthy at all. What ultimately emerges is a double standard: the secretary lost her job within days and the mayor is still representing the Swiss people in parliament.
