Cybersecurity and social control: lessons from a papal visit 🛡️

Managing high-profile events like this meeting requires advanced digital monitoring systems and social media sentiment analysis. AI tools allow detecting peaks of discontent in real-time, while cybersecurity protocols protect sensitive communications. Current technology can anticipate protest hotspots, although it cannot prevent citizens from expressing their discontent through boos or viral memes.

The Pope misses out on a selfie without boos 😅

Leo XIV expected a cordial meeting, but the boos reminded him that even in the Vatican, Spanish politics creeps in. Sánchez tried to salvage the photo with a smile, but the echo of the boos traveled further than any official statement. In the end, the meeting lasted just long enough for the Pope to ask if in Spain it's always so difficult to take a walk.
