Week 13 – Journal Entry 14

First I believe that gathering information from children younger than 13 goes against privacy laws and endangers them. Online identity theft makes manipulation and fraud possible. A persons privacy and safety are at very risk when their personal information is shared without their consent. It is against communication laws to record VoIP calls without the consent of all parties. Finally i’d say using unlicensed streaming services exposes users to malware and encourages piracy. Because they cause harm to people, encourage unethical behavior, and weaken trust in digital places, these violations are severe. Internet safety and legality depend on awareness and careful use.
