Social media have become very popular. Yet, we lack sufficient standards and rules in order to guarantee a well functioning democracy. On Twitter, Facebook and Co. many debates take place, but often rules are violated. Manipulation and profit seem to be paramount. This book is an autobiographical contribution to the experiences with social media. The keywords "freedom" and "security" make clear that this is always a balancing act.
