Summary | A dubious organization is teaching young muslims in the UK how authorities can spy on their digital communications. Government authorities are eager to intercept instant messaging communication to be able to avoid terrorist attacks but companies such as WhatsApp and Telegram are making their services encrypted and refuse to aid the government in their surveillance endeavors.

Summary | Facebook have begun implementing new ways to combat the sharing of revenge porn on their platform. These changes stem from roundtable discussions with women's safety organizations. Revenge porn, the sharing of intimate photographs without permission after a breakup (or similar), is becoming increasingly frequent. Facebook can now take down such images very quickly once they're reported and keep users from sharing such images again.

Summary | Facebook has recently followed the footsteps of other large companies and implemented a chatbot in its messenger. Chatbots as conversational user interfaces are increasingly popular because smartphone users are reported to grow tired of having to download so many different apps. By enriching a social media service such as Facebook with a chatbot, users can enquire about things (e.g the weather) without changing platforms and using a mode that is familiar and comfortable for users: casual texting. The article however criticizes that chatbot technology is not very advanced and that it does not resemble human interaction yet.
