The web page consists of three real short stories about our lives on social media sites online. The stories are a look into how much privacy and freedom of expression we believe to have on the internet versus how much content restriction and invasion of personal spaces we unknowingly consent to.

1. The Godfather part IV: Catfish – A story about a friend’s strange online friendship with two suspicious people.
2. ‘Cookies’ and Cream – A story about a mother who was overprotective and controlling of her daughter’s internet usage.
3. #YouTubeIsOverParty – An article about the incident from 2017 where social media websites ‘accidentally’ restricted LGBT posts among other inappropriate content.
