Journal #14

Among the list of offenses listed the five violations that are particularly serious are faking your identity online, sharing private information of others, collecting information about children, illegal searches on the internet, and bullying and trolling. Faking your identity online can have serious repercussions as these individuals often use fake identities to commit fraud, deceive individuals, and engage in illegal activities resulting in financial loss, reputational damage, and legal consequences for innocent victims. Sharing passwords, addresses, or photos of others without consent is a gross invasion of privacy. It can lead to various negative consequences, including identity theft, online harassment, or even threats to personal safety. The unauthorized collection of information about children, such as their personal details or images is a severe violation. This offense can potentially expose minors to harm, exploitation, or cyberbullying, endangering their emotional well-being and safety. Conducting searches with the internet to find and access illegal content, such as child pornography or information on how to engage in criminal activities, is not only morally reprehensible but also illegal. These searches contribute to the distribution and perpetuation of illicit material, causing harm to victims and potentially leading to incarceration for offenders. Engaging in online harassment, bullying, or trolling is a highly damaging and serious offense. These actions can lead to severe emotional distress, mental health issues, and even physical harm for the victims. Cyberbullying has been linked to cases of depression, anxiety, and in some extreme cases, suicide. It undermines the well-being of individuals and contributes to a toxic online environment.
