Week-11

     In 2015 Chinese media service Xinhua announced that Chinese government set police in giant internet companies for security reasons. There was an audition from other companies also about improving internet precautions, but no one really said anything about embedding police in those Companies. Alibaba, Sina Weibo, Baidu and many others issued a statement " We work with Chinese authorities to combat illegal and criminal activities on the internet.

During that time, the period was tensed with North Korea and residents started panicking. After 30 minutes, mistake was issued .

How could we avoid it ?  Strong colors are easier for our eyes to detect for some wrongdoing. For good design time a
