Im Gefühlsextremismus

Topic Tags | cyberbullying, pornography, privacy, sexting, social media, threat
Summary | Social media have messed with our sense of privacy. Celebrities can now address their fans from a seemingly private realm of self-orchestrated social media presence and regular people can become famous very quickly when they embarrass themselves enough on social media. Additionally, one can be made famous on social media by cyberbullies and previous partners by sharing "revenge porn" (nudes shared during a romantic relationship) after a breakup. The general tenor on all social media sites entails schadenfreude (rejoicing over other people's misfortune) - whether it be directed towards celebrities' faux-pas or normal people.

Summary | The human voice has become quite disenfranchised in this age where most communication happens in writing and emojis serve for emotional cues. Many people feel uncomfortable talking on the phone because it seems weird because we are no longer used to it. A new dating app called whispar encourages users to use their voice and enables them to upload voice recordings because they carry a lot of sexual/romantic force.

Die Medien als Mob
(The media as a mob)
Newspaper | Die Wochenzeitung
Date | 21.8.2014
Language | German
Country | Switzerland
Topic Tags | politics, sexting
Summary | This article criticizes und scrutinizes a previous article from Schweiz am Sonntag about the Geri Müller sexting scandal coming to the conclusion that the story leaves out important parts just to make it more scandalous. Yes, the police had been called by Geri Müller but not to destroy the sexting evidence as this evidence had already been in the hands of several newspapers but had not been published as it was not relevant enough but to protect the woman from herself because she had threatened Geri Müller to commit suicide. Geri Müller did nothing illegal – just consensual sexting. That is nobody’s business even if he holds public office.
