Summary | The Munich police are present on social media because that is where most of the population regularly checks in. In order to counteract fake news, they make sure to notify the public in case of a dangerous situation and be available for information. Many people share sensationalist stories to spread fear and that is dangerous. While it cannot be prosecuted by the law, a public moral code should be developed to push back such fear-spreaders.

Summary | In a recent tweet by the Saxon local police, they used an emoji. That is inappropriate. The emoji was of a megaphone. That is distasteful because it depicts complicated matters as simple and light-hearted, almost humorous.
