Review what the author says and write a paragraph describing the five most serious violations and why you think those offenses are serious.
- The most serious wrong action by Andriy Slynchuk is gathering information about kids. It’s really bad and was immediately seen as a top issue. It’s shocking how some people aim to misuse children’s data online. The internet, especially social media, is risky for kids because it’s too easy for others to track and collect their information.
- The second big problem is recording voice calls without asking. By law, you need to tell and get okay from the people you’re talking to if you want to record them. It would really bother and upset me to find out someone recorded our call without telling me.
- Third, using someone else’s Wi-Fi without permission is not right. It’s okay to use public Wi-Fi in places like stores, but breaking into someone’s private home Wi-Fi is invading their privacy and very strange. This could let someone get access to private stuff through the devices connected to that Wi-Fi.
- Fourth, taking and using someone else’s pictures without saying where you got them from is also a big no. This is serious because it’s stealing someone else’s hard work for your own benefit. It’s not fair when someone else takes all the credit and possibly makes money off someone else’s work.
- Lastly, pretending to be someone else online is the fifth major issue. People do this to trick others into giving them money or personal info. Even though it’s partly because people can be too trusting, it’s not their fault they got fooled. It’s illegal and wrong to pretend to be someone else to take advantage of them.
